Üzümolus

Üzümolus is a term used in some Turkish dialects to refer to a type of grape molasses or syrup. It is produced by boiling down grape juice until it thickens into a rich, dark syrup. The process typically involves pressing grapes to extract their juice, which is then simmered for an extended period, often over low heat, to reduce its water content and concentrate its natural sugars.

The consistency of üzümolus can vary, ranging from a slightly thick syrup to a very dense, almost jelly-like substance, depending on the duration of the boiling process. Its flavor is intensely sweet with a distinct fruity undertone characteristic of grapes. It is often used as a natural sweetener in desserts, drizzled over breakfast foods like pancakes or yogurt, or incorporated into marinades and sauces. In some regions, it may also be consumed for its perceived nutritional benefits. The specific methods of production and culinary uses can differ slightly between various communities and geographical areas where it is traditionally made.
