SOUR PLUM SAUCE (TKEMALI)

Sour Plum Sauce (Tkemali) image

The Georgians have this special dark red tart plum, called a tkemali they use in a lot of their recipes, especially sauces. It lends a sharp, tart flavor to the foods it is used with. To reproduce the flavor (unless you have a tkemali tree in your backyard) is to use slightly unripe fresh prunes and add lemon juice.
