The daughter said that nothing is tastier than Powerbars didn't eat. ( ( Well how is that? ( ( The grapes we have now is cheap, its nuts... decided to make her "Snickers", but only the Georgian - natural, tasty and nutritious treat. PS. Girls Georgian women (well, boys), correct, if not entirely authentic it turned out. But I tried... )

    2 l

    350 g

    200 g

Cooking

step-0
Grape juice I took of the cultivar "Isabella", it is very fragrant, sweet and juice, it makes a very dark color. To obtain juice from grapes is easiest, of course, through the juicer. But I have such a miracle of technology there, so just ran the berries in a blender and strained, rubbing through a sieve. If we are really tight with grapes (we have a season for three pounds paid $ 100), take the finished, packaged juice, but the taste is, of course, is quite another. Three kg of grape juice I got almost 2 liters.
step-1
Prepare the nuts. I have a mix of walnuts and hazelnuts. Smash them into halves or quarters, but not smaller otherwise you will not be able to use the string. Leave hazelnuts whole. With quite a tight, strong thread and needle make here are nut beads.
step-2
Molding around a glass of juice, the rest is put on the stove and bring to a boil. Boil for five minutes. In a glass to the juice add the flour and pour in the boiling juice, stirring intensively. Sugar I've added - very sweet got the grapes, and you try, you may have to sweeten. About the flour. I met different ratio of the proportions of flour-juice. For myself stopped on this variant - the flour pour not whole, boiled, stirring and looked at the density of the resulting mass. It should be quite thick and viscous. I dipped the edge of the thread with nuts and watched, held mass on the nuts, do not drain too quickly. Perhaps the amount of flour you need to increase or, conversely, to reduce. This chewy and fragrant mass necessary to boil for another 5 minutes.
step-3
Now, the most pleasant. Dip the threads strung with nuts in syrup, pritupova them with a spoon. Raise into the pot, wait a bit, to drain excess ground and suspended in the previously prepared place (I was hanging ajar the oven door on hooks out of paper clips. Can a normal hanger for this case to adapt). Be sure to put under churchkhela, baking tray or put baking paper!
step-4
This procedure must be repeated several times, increasing the grape layer. When I dip the last thread first has been slightly drained and hardens, you can wait a couple of minutes and start the process to dipped, raised, a little glass hung. I did three times. If grape juice will remain, sprinkle in there substandard small pieces of the nuts and place in tins from chocolates.
step-5
All! Wait until churchkhela has stopped dropping and it can be moved to another location to dry. I have hung next to the battery - they are now barely warm, that's it! Five days later, churchkhela ready. Wrap it in a linen towel and after 2-3 months you can take the test))) just in time for the New year! ))) On the churchkhela will be the sugar, which shows its full maturation. We did not wait, already taste vengeance! Vkusnogo! American Snickers Georgian and sloppy!
