Autumn in the village. My favorite nut dessert and the last porcini mushrooms this year

walnuts

🥗Healthier: almonds

💰Cheaper: peanuts

Almonds provide a similar crunch with less fat.

grape juice

🥗Healthier: fresh grape puree

💰Cheaper: apple juice

Fresh puree enhances flavor while apple juice is budget-friendly.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: agave syrup

Honey adds natural sweetness and depth.

flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: whole wheat flour

Almond flour is gluten-free and adds nuttiness.

Prepare grape juice by boiling grapes and straining to remove skins.

Mix flour with a little water to create a smooth paste.

Heat grape juice in a pot until it simmers.

Gradually add flour paste into the grape juice, stirring constantly until thickened.

Dip walnuts into the thickened mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

Hang the dipped walnuts on a string to dry in a cool, dry place.

Allow to dry for several days until firm and chewy.
