How To Make Grape Molasses
Description
How To Make Grape Molasses starts with gently simmering grape must, which is the freshly pressed juice containing skins, seeds, and stems. The simmering process reduces the liquid by three-quarters or to one-fifth for a thicker molasses known as Petimezi. Different grapes affect the thickness due to their sugar levels and color, with white grapes typically requiring more reduction than red ones. The simmered liquid thickens and caramelizes slightly, developing a deep, rich sweetness characteristic of grape molasses.
Grape molasses is useful as a natural sweetener and can be stored for up to a year in sterilized containers, making it a practical pantry addition. Its thickness ranges from a pourable syrup to a honey-like consistency depending on the reduction level.
Ingredients

Instructions
- Add the Grape Must to a large cooking pot and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Simmer over medium-low heat until it gets reduced to ¼. Then store it in sterilized glass jars or bottles for up to a year. To make a thick Petimezi keep simmering until the liquid gets thick as honey and reduced down to ⅕ of the original volume of the Must (see Note 1 below).
