Mulberry Molasses

Mulberry molasses (mulberry pekmez) is reduced mulberry juice—dark, fruity, and mineral-sweet, common across Turkey and the Levant alongside grape pekmez. Flavour is berry-jam depth without cane molasses bitterness. Stir into yoghurt and tahini, sweeten porridge, or glaze meats. Thicker grades spread like jam; thinner pour for drinks.

Also known as: Dut Pekmezi, Dibs al Tut, Mulberry Pekmez
