Churchkhela is a traditional sweet of Georgian cuisine. Walnuts or hazelnuts are threaded onto a string, then dipped many times into thickened grape juice and dried. The result is a candle shaped dessert with nuts inside and a soft, chewy coating. No sugar is added, the sweetness comes from the natural grape juice. Churchkhela keeps for a long time, so it is used both as a dessert and as travel food. It goes well with tea. In Baku restaurants and markets it is often sold ready made. The price depends on size, usually from 3 ₼ to 8 ₼.
