Soutzoukos
The most well-known grape juice based Cypriot sweet, Soutzoukos is made with soaked whole almonds or walnuts threaded dipped several times in finished Palouze.
Considered as the most well-known grape juice based sweet, Soutzoukos is made with soaked whole almonds or walnuts which are then literally threaded with a cotton thread. The threaded nuts are then dipped several times in finished Palouze, a process that may take several days since each layer has to dry before coating it with another layer. Every time it is dipped, a new layer of Palouze is added on the previous one until its diameter reaches four to six centimetres.
The long sausage-like looking sweet is served into thinly cut slices.
