Pekmez

Nevsehir City: Goreme

A fruitful harvest they had here in the region of Kapadokia this year, lots of grapes ... time to make Pekmez, a Turkish syrup.
If you intend to make it at home, you can read all about it on Wipikedia .

Here in Goreme it was a nice moment to stop in the evening, climbing the steep mountain to get home, gasping for breath ... people do make the syrup mostly outside in big plates working non-stop 24h for two days to evaporate the liquid up to a thick goo, the Pekmez.

You shouldn't forget to get some local home made Pekmez, locally also called the aphrodisiac or Turkish viagra, to take a flavour of Turkey home with you ...
