Fruit syrups or fruit molasses are concentrated fruit juices used as sweeteners.
Examples include pomegranate molasses, grape syrup, and boiled cider.
Fruit syrups are known by a variety of names in multiple cuisines, including:
- in Arab cuisine, rub, jallab;
- in Ancient Greek cuisine, epsima;
- in Greek cuisine, petimezi;
- in Indian cuisine, drakshasava;
- in Turkish cuisine, pekmez;
- in Persian cuisine, doshab;
- in Ancient Roman cuisine, defrutum, carenum, and sapa.
- in Armenian cuisine, doshab.
Some foods are made using fruit syrups or molasses:
- Churchkhela, a sausage-shaped candy made from grape must and nuts
- Sharots, a confection in Armenian cuisine, consisting of halved walnut kernels threaded onto a string and coated with a spiced grape-based mixture
In modern industrial foods, they are often made from a less expensive fruit (such as apples, pears, or pineapples) and used to sweeten more expensive fruits or products and to extend their quantity. A typical use would be for an "all-fruit" strawberry spread that contains apple juice as well as strawberries.
