Cherry Plum Tkemali
Description
A delicious addition to everyday and festive dishes. Store "Tkemali" on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. It's best to distribute tkemali into small jars, as it doesn't keep long after opening. If you find the sauce too sour or lacking salt, you can adjust the taste directly during cooking or before use. The specified amount of ingredients yields approximately 250 ml of sauce.
