Frequently Asked Questions About Walnut sucuk köme

Can you make walnut sucuk köme at home?

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.
