What is Pekmez Sugar Sucuk?
Pekmez sugar sucuk is a traditional Turkish sweet made by thickening grape molasses with sugar and starch, then shaping the mixture into a sausage-like strand to set or dry. Despite the name, it is not a meat sausage; unlike walnut-stuffed grape-molasses rolls, it usually contains no nuts. Recipes and texture vary by region.
It has a pronounced grape sweetness and a dense, chewy bite. In Turkey it is commonly sliced for a small treat with tea or served on a plate of sweets; elsewhere, it can be enjoyed the same way alongside unsweetened tea or coffee. It is mostly carbohydrate, with very little fat, so a thin slice is often enough when you want something sweet. Fresh fruit makes a lighter pairing.
