Pepecura (Grape Jelly) Recipe
This light dessert from the Black Sea region is made with purple and fragrant isabella (pepeçura) grapes unique to that region. However, it is possible to achieve a similar taste with thin-skinned black grapes. Pepecura is considered an antioxidant and immune system support due to the high vitamin C and rich polyphenols it contains. Enjoy your meal!
