Sweet Cyprus

Sweet Cyprus

What Cypriot sweets do you know? Forget about the usual cakes and cakes. Most tourists will call Lukum. The basis of Cyprus treats is the gifts of nature.

Locals use fresh fruits, nuts and honey. And your favorite ingredient is grape juice. Amazing desserts have been preparing from it for centuries. These traditions are passed down from generation to generation.

 The energy of the vine

The main characters of the fall are Sudzhukos and Paluses. They are prepared after harvesting grapes. Fresh juice is boiled to the state of thick jelly. So it turns out to be Paluses. It is eaten hot, sprinkling with nuts. And if you string the almonds on the thread and dip in the dealership several times, you will get Suzhukos. These "sausages" are dried in the sun. They can be stored all winter.

Fruits in syrup

All year round, Cypriots prepare Glyko Tu Kulia. Translated, this means "sweetness on a spoon." These are pieces of fruit or nuts in thick syrup. The most unusual option is from young walnut. Desserts from cherries, figs, quince and even watermelon crust are also popular. Such sweetness is customary to treat dear guests.

Now you know what to look for in village shops and taverns. Do not be afraid to try new and ask about local delicacies. Open your personal, non -tourist sweet Cyprus.
