Dessert
Pelamushi with Blackberries
About this dish
Pelamushi is a traditional Georgian grape dessert thickened with cornmeal or flour, full of rich fruit flavor and soul. In this version I’ve added blackberries for a gentle tartness that cuts the sweetness.
This is a hug in a bowl – slightly wobbly, deeply purple, made with love and patience. The coolness of the pelamushi pairs beautifully with the dark berries, making it perfect for a summer refresher or a humble yet special treat after a family meal.

Add Sugar and Cook

As it warms the mixture will thicken – the secret is a solid “hello fresh thickened love”, usually after 10 to 12 minutes. When it can coat the back of the spoon solidly removing pale through the middle, it’s ready.
