What is Pumpkin cooked with grape molasses?
Pumpkin cooked with grape molasses is a traditional Turkish dessert made by simmering pumpkin pieces with grape pekmez, a thick, concentrated grape syrup. The molasses lends the pumpkin a deep sweetness and fruity note, while the exact preparation varies from kitchen to kitchen.
The pieces turn tender and glossy, with a soft texture and a rich, mellow sweetness. In Turkey, the dessert is often served chilled after a meal, sometimes topped with tahini or walnuts; elsewhere, it also works as a small dessert or sweet snack. It is mostly carbohydrate, with very little fat and some fibre from the pumpkin. For a lighter serving, enjoy it plain or add just a small drizzle of tahini rather than a generous topping.
