When life gives you Meyer lemons, something more epic than lemonade 
is called for. These muffins zip with lemon, poppy seeds, and a 
double dose of pomegranate with arils in the dough and a generous 
drizzle of homemade Pomegranate Molasses on top.

Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Butter and flour 2 (12-cup) muffin pans.

In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. 
Stir in pomegranate arils.

In another large bowl, whisk together sour cream, melted butter, 
eggs, poppy seeds, and lemon zest and juice. Fold flour mixture into 
sour cream mixture until well combined. Divide batter among prepared 
muffin cups. Sprinkle each muffin with about 1 tablespoon Poppy Seed Streusel.

Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool in pans for 5 
minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks. 
Drizzle with Pomegranate Molasses.

Poppy Seed Streusel: Makes about 1 1/2 cups

In a small bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, poppy seeds, and salt. 
Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Use 
immediately.

Pomegranate Molasses: Makes 3/4 cup

In a medium saucepan, bring all ingredients to a boil over 
medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until 
thickened, syrupy, and reduced by about two-thirds, 25 to 30 minutes. 
Let cool completely, then refrigerate overnight. Refrigerate in an 
airtight container until ready to use.
