For several years, I dreamed of home cook churchkhela - after all, no matter what you say, but it is incredibly tasty treats. And though at the sight of her I began to flow salivating, force yourself to eat the delicacy of the purchase, I was not able to because the traders on the beaches of me well, does not inspire confidence.
Therefore, it was decided to prepare her own to certainly be sure of the quality of the product. And what do you think? My recent the experiment was a success - Useful candy instantly sold on the hands, and the home immediately asked to repeat my culinary efforts.
In general, in this article I'll detail the entire process of preparation churchkhelas - you make sure that everything is simple and easy, and most importantly - delicious!
So, what do we need for a recipe?
Of course, juice, nuts, flour, sugar, and a small motochek strong thread and needle. I took the juice of two types - the purchase orange and grape home, then to compare the taste of the final product. Nuts were also assorted - walnuts and hazelnuts.
The first thing I took threading nuts on a string, forming a kind of nut beads. I have not done a very long, so that later it was convenient to dip them in the "batter." All it took me about 1 kg of nuts, of which 12 turned ropes with nuts.
Then I mixed 1 cup flour and 1 liter of juice, though initially added to the flour a glass of juice to make it easier to dissolve it without lumps, and then poured the rest. Now add a couple of spoonfuls of sugar and set on fire - let the jelly boil for 15 minutes.
Once the mass thickens, remove it from the heat and give cool, then proceed to the "bathing" in her nuts on threads.
Immerse all their "beads" in the prepared jelly, and then hang them to ripen in a ventilated room for at least 6 days.
Once the top layer hardensYou can easily taste the sweetness - it turns out well, very tasty and useful.
And, yes, if it is possible, use homemade juice - my grape churchkhela all liked a lot more than that, that was prepared at the store juice.
