No, although I looked through underbelly several times over the past few weeks, for some reason I totally missed both the article and his post! Thank you!!
Yes, absolutely try with pomegranate! A friend gave me several pomegranates from his tree and I tried to make molasses from it to put on the ice cream, and I totally messed up by trying to take a short cut and run it all through my juicer. Ended up "juicing" the pith and seeds, so the resulting reduction of the juice was quite awful. Next time, will use a manual food mill to juice them.
EDIT: no wonder I missed it, the article is recent! Cool!
Edit #2: I have everything but trehalose and gum arabic. 🤦♂️ So close!
