Walnut sucuk köme is a traditional sweet made by coating strings of walnuts in thickened grape must and drying them. Despite the word “sucuk” in its name, it is not a meat sausage; the name refers to its long, sausage-like shape.
No, walnut sucuk köme does not contain meat. “Sucuk” describes its shape, not its ingredients: the sweet is made mainly with walnuts and thickened grape must, though recipes may also use flour or starch.
Walnut sucuk köme is made by threading walnuts onto a string, dipping them in thickened grape must, and drying the coated string. The dipping and drying may be repeated to build a chewy outer layer; recipes vary by region.
They are closely related sweets, but walnut sucuk köme is the Turkish name for a regional version made by coating threaded walnuts with thickened grape must. Churchkhela is the Georgian counterpart; ingredients, texture, and local names can differ.
Walnut sucuk köme tastes sweet and fruity from the grape must, with a rich, slightly bitter note from the walnuts. Its coating is usually chewy, while the walnuts add a firm crunch.
Store walnut sucuk köme in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Moisture can make it sticky or encourage mold, and condensation after refrigeration may affect its texture.
Slice walnut sucuk köme into bite-sized pieces and eat it as a sweet snack or dessert. It is also served with tea or coffee; an unsweetened drink balances its concentrated sweetness.
Walnut sucuk köme is a traditional sweet associated with parts of eastern Turkey and the Black Sea region. Similar string-shaped walnut sweets are also made across the Caucasus, with local names and recipes.
Walnut sucuk köme can become firmer as it dries, and grape sugars may crystallize on its surface. Keep it sealed and dry to help preserve its texture; discard it if you notice mold or an unusual smell.
Yes, walnut sucuk köme can be made at home by stringing walnuts, coating them in thickened grape must, and drying them thoroughly. The drying time varies with humidity, so allow the coating to become firm before storing it.
