Grape Molasses (Petimezi)
🇬🇷 Greece
Ingredients
- 2.5 liters grape must
Steps
- Pour the grape must into a large cooking pot and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Simmer over medium-low heat until reduced to about 1/4 of the original volume.
- Store the reduced syrup in sterilized glass jars or bottles; keeps for up to a year.
- For a thicker molasses, continue simmering until the liquid is thick like honey and reduced to about 1/5 of the original volume.
Notes
Thicker reduction (to 1/5 volume) yields a honey-like consistency, sometimes called thick Petimezi.
