Perishable foods are exempt from the 14-day change-of-mind return; your statutory rights for genuine quality or safety issues remain unaffected.
Description
Thick, dark and deeply fruity, grape molasses has been part of Anatolian kitchens for thousands of years. This generous 800g jar from Koska is made by slowly cooking down grape juice into a rich syrup with a warm, caramel-like flavour, ready to drizzle, stir and spread whenever you want a little natural sweetness.
What Is Pekmez?
Pekmez is the Turkish name for fruit juices that are boiled until thick and concentrated. Grapes are the most traditional choice, and üzüm pekmezi is by far the most widely made. In vineyard regions, late summer and early autumn were once busy with families pressing grapes, filtering the juice and simmering it for hours in large copper pans until it turned dark, glossy and spoonable.
Before refined sugar was cheap and easy to find, pekmez was one of the main ways people sweetened their food. It kept for months without refrigeration, so a few jars in the larder meant energy and comfort throughout the winter. Many older Turkish people still take a spoonful on cold mornings, a habit passed down from their own parents.
Sweetness With Character
Unlike plain sugar, grape molasses brings flavour as well as sweetness. Expect notes of dark fruit, raisins and toffee, with a slight tang that keeps it from tasting flat. As a natural sweetener, it is made from fruit rather than refined sugar, which is why many people use it in porridge, yoghurt and baking in place of syrup or honey.
The Classic Pairing
Ask anyone in Turkey how to eat pekmez and the answer is almost always the same: with tahini. Tahin pekmez is a simple breakfast and winter snack made by pouring tahini onto a plate, adding grape molasses on top and stirring the two together into a marbled, nutty spread. Scoop it up with fresh bread and you have a rich, warming treat that children and adults love alike.
More Ways to Use Grape Molasses
- Drizzle over thick yoghurt with walnuts and banana.
- Stir into porridge, overnight oats or rice pudding.
- Use in marinades for lamb or chicken with garlic and cumin.
- Whisk into salad dressings with olive oil and lemon juice.
- Replace some of the sugar or syrup in cakes, cookies and flapjacks.
- Mix a spoonful into hot milk on a cold evening.
Why Koska?
Koska has been one of Turkey's best-known names for traditional sweets since the early twentieth century, famous for its halva, tahini and molasses. The brand is a natural choice for anyone wanting the familiar flavours they grew up with. This 800g jar is a good size for households that use pekmez regularly, especially through the colder months.
Storage
Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, with the lid tightly closed. There is no need to refrigerate. Natural sugar crystals may form over time, which is completely normal. Simply stand the jar in warm water to dissolve them. Please check the label for full ingredient and allergen information.
