    1. Wash the cherry plums and put them in a pot. Add just enough water to sit slightly above the fruit. Set the pot over medium heat and cook for 10–15 minutes, until the plums are soft. 2. Meanwhile, wash, dry, and finely chop the herbs—the mint and cilantro. 3. Drain the plums in a sieve, saving the cooking liquid (don't pour it down the sink), then remove all the pits. 4. Purée the plum pulp in a blender, then return it to the pot. If it's too thick, add some of the reserved liquid. 5. Set the pot over the lowest heat, add the herbs, and stir in the pressed garlic. 6. Add the sugar, salt, and khmeli-suneli. Stir everything together. 7. Cook the sauce for 8 minutes, then stir in the walnuts and bring it to a boil. 8. Ladle the finished sauce into sterile jars, seal with lids, and let it cool somewhere warm. After that, store the tkemali in a cool place. Enjoy!
