Refined sugar-free walnut sausage is a traditional sweet made by coating strung walnuts in a thick grape-molasses mixture and drying them. Despite the name, it is not sugar-free: grape molasses contains naturally occurring sugars.
They are closely related walnut-and-grape-molasses sweets, but names and recipes vary by region. Churchkhela is especially associated with Georgia, while refined sugar-free walnut sausage is the Turkish-style name; coatings and ingredients can differ.
To make refined sugar-free walnut sausage, walnuts are threaded onto strings, dipped in a thickened grape-molasses mixture, and dried. The coating commonly uses flour or another thickener to cling to the walnuts.
Yes. Refined sugar-free walnut sausage gets naturally occurring sugars from grape molasses, even when no refined sugar is added. “Refined sugar-free” describes the sweetener used, not the total amount of sugar in the finished sweet.
Keep refined sugar-free walnut sausage in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Moisture can make the coating sticky, so reseal opened packaging promptly and follow any storage directions on the package.
Slice refined sugar-free walnut sausage into bite-sized pieces and serve it as a snack or dessert. Its chewy molasses coating and walnuts pair well with coffee or tea, and it is often served in small portions.
Yes. Thread walnuts onto string, dip them in a thickened grape-molasses mixture, then hang them until the coating dries. Drying time varies with humidity and coating thickness, so allow the pieces to dry fully before storing.
Refined sugar-free walnut sausage firms up as its molasses coating dries. A piece that seems unusually hard may have lost moisture during storage; letting it sit briefly at room temperature can make it easier to slice.
It can raise blood sugar because grape molasses supplies sugars, even without refined sugar. People with diabetes should account for it in their meal plan and ask their healthcare professional for individual guidance if needed.
Yes, refined sugar-free walnut sausage can be frozen in airtight packaging. Thaw it while still wrapped in the refrigerator to reduce condensation on the coating, then let it come to serving temperature before slicing.

Refined Sugar-Free Walnut Sausage is a traditional Turkish sweet, not a meat sausage. Whole walnuts are threaded onto a string, coated in a thick mixture made with grape molasses, then dried. Some recipes add flour or starch to help the coating set. It is associated with Anatolian home cooking and regional specialties such as köme.
Cut into slices, it is enjoyed as a snack or served with tea; its chewy, dense coating contrasts with the walnuts’ crisp bite. The molasses makes it naturally sweet and contributes to its carbohydrate content, while walnuts add some protein, fat and fibre. A small slice is satisfying alongside unsweetened tea or fresh fruit, especially if you want a sweet treat without refined sugar.
