Once I bought some awesome yummy at the market. The view resembled an ordinary pod or icicle. I found out from the seller that the delicacy is called churchkhela. This is one of the oriental sweets. I also managed to find out the culinary recipe of this creation. I want to share it with you now. Take your favorite nuts. I love walnuts and hazelnuts. Hazelnuts are fashionable to use whole, and walnuts are better to break into halves. Nuts need to be put on a thick thread, the length of which is about 25 centimeters. Tie an ordinary match to one end of the thread. After the nuts are all on the thread, make a loop at the other end of it. Put grape juice on the stove in a saucepan. It needs to be cooked on low heat for 3 hours. Gradually add sugar to the juice, remove the foam and stir. When the fire is turned off and cool the resulting mass to 45 degrees, you can add flour to it. Add carefully so that it does not get into lumps, but turns into a homogeneous mass together with the juice. Then continue to cook this mass. It should evaporate to its quaternary volume. Such a mass is called in the East of the Tatar. In it, you need to hold a bunch of nuts three times for half a minute. Then hang the churchkhela to dry in the sun. It should stop sticking to your hands. Then take it off and wrap it in a towel made of linen. Then put it to ripen in a well-ventilated room for 3 months. That's all. Bon appetit!
