Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cups small seedless red grapes -- washed, plus an additional small bunch of grapes for garnish, if desired
16 small cippolini onions
1/2 cup pomegranate molasses -- divided

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line a cooking sheet with parchment paper, oiled foil or a silpat.
3. Coat grapes with 1/4 cup of molasses. Brush additional molasses over
bunch of grapes, if using.
4. Roast on middle rack of oven until just shriveled but not collapsed,
20-35 minutes, depending on size. Remove from oven and reserve.
5. Coat cippolinis with remaining molasses and season with kosher salt and
freshly ground pepper. Change paper or foil if burnt. Roast 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and, with prongs, turn over. Continue roasting until
onions are well-browned, just tender and caramelized, an additional 10-20
minutes, depending on size.
6. When onions are cool enough to handle, separate layers with fingers and
cut larger onions in half.
7. Combine onions with grapes.

Pomegranate molasses is often used in Mediterranean cooking; I adore as a
component with[favorite] dishes, in particular. I purchased my bottle at
the Mediterranean Market on Ellsworth, but I've seen it at many grocery
stores in town.
