Gozinaki from Georgia
Gozinaki is made of walnuts and boiled honey. It is the most popular dessert in Georgia, which
is traditionally prepared only for the New Year. You can also use almonds or other kind of
nuts instead of walnuts.
Ingredients:
600 g honey
1 k walnuts
1-2 tbsp sugar
Step-by-Step:
Prepare the ingredients: honey, sugar and walnuts. Cut the walnuts into pieces. Pour honey into the
saucepan, put it on low fire and bring to boil. Stir honey with wooden spoon. When it begins to froth
up, remove it from the fire, let it cool down and put it back on fire.
Repeat these procedures three times to allow the honey to thicken well. Add sugar in the end. Bring
honey to boil once again, put walnuts in it and stir constantly. When walnuts change color, i.e. in 3-4
minutes, remove Gozinaki from fire. Immediately put the cooked walnut-honey mass on wet
wooden board.
Spread Gozinaki evenly on the board with a wet hand or a spoon. Trim edges and cut hot Gozinaki
with wet knife into equal pieces. Put pieces of Gozinaki on a dish and serve .
