Armenian heritage: How to make sweet soujuk

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness while brown sugar is often more affordable.

walnuts

🥗Healthier: almonds

💰Cheaper: pecans

Almonds are lower in calories and pecans can be less expensive.

Smash the walnuts or use already shelled ones.

In a pot, combine 2 cups of grape juice, 1/3 cup of grape molasses, 1/4 cup of sugar, a pinch of cinnamon, and a pinch of allspice.

Boil the mixture until the sugar dissolves and it comes to a simmer.

Prepare a cornstarch slurry with about 1 cup of water.

Drizzle the cornstarch slurry into the boiling mixture while stirring continuously.

Let the mixture cool and then hang it in a cool, dry place for about three days to solidify.
