Pekmez (Turkish: pekmez) is a molasses syrup made from grape juice. Use it like a syrup. Or combine with tahini for a sweet dip. Pekmez is a staple part of a Turkish breakfast enjoyed with fresh, crusty bread.

Pekmez is made from grape juice that has been boiled to make a thick, molasses-like syrup.

Use grape molasses as a natural sweetener in baking, or drizzle over ice cream as an alternative to sugar syrups.

Another traditional use for the grape molasses is to coat walnuts and hang them from strings to dry – this is a treat called cevizli sucuk or ‘sausage with walnuts’, as the finished result looks like a dried sausage.

Pekmez grape molasses is also a great source of iron, calcium, potassium and magnesium.
