How to make tkemali from apples for the winter: recipe

  • green apples - 2 kilograms
  • garlic - 4-5 cloves
  • cilantro, parsley and dill - 1 bunch each
  • sweet red pepper - 0.5 kilograms
  • hot red pepper - optional
  • water - 2 glasses

Georgian vegetable and fruit sauces, as well as other similar dishes that complement the main dishes - meat and fish - are very popular today among gourmets from all over the world. One of them is apple tkemali for the winter; this recipe is a substitute for cherry plum seasoning for those cases when it is not possible to get this rare variety of plum. At the same time, tkemali made from apples for the winter turns out to be no less tasty and aromatic, the main thing is to choose the right fruits, spices and other ingredients for it. All components of this amazing oriental snack should be ripe, fresh and tasty. Their composition and quantity can be endlessly adjusted depending on your own taste.

First of all, you need to prepare the apples. For the sauce under discussion, green fruits with sourness are best suited. You can also take homemade fruits, for example, Antonovka. The apples are carefully sorted so that no spoiled fruits are found among them, and then washed under running cold water. You will also need to peel them, remove the stem and core. The most convenient way to do this is to cut the selected fruit into 4 parts with a sharp knife. Next, the apples are sent to a deep enamel pan along with water. Bring the mixture to a boil over low heat. After this, the pan is removed from the heat, and the fruits can be mashed quite easily using a regular mashed potato masher. They will soften quickly over the heat. The problem with chopping fruits can only arise if they are unripe. Therefore, it is important to select only fully ripe fruits for this delicious sauce.

Now is the time to start preparing the remaining ingredients for apple tkemali for the winter. Garlic cloves are peeled and cut into small pieces. If you have a powerful blender, then you don’t have to cut them at all. The greens are thoroughly washed under water and chopped. All that remains is to remove the seeds and stems from the sweet and hot peppers. The latter should be used only by those cooks who love spicy “fiery” additives. Next, all the prepared ingredients are combined and sent to the blender bowl. They must be thoroughly crushed and mixed until smooth. While the vegetables and seasonings are pureed, the cooled apple mass can be returned to low heat. As soon as it boils, the mixture from the blender is added to the fruit. The ingredients should cook together for about 10-12 minutes, after which the pan is removed from the heat. It's time to add salt and sugar to taste to your future apple tkemali for the winter.

In general, the finished dish can be stored in the refrigerator for quite a long time. But, if you need to leave it until winter, then immediately after turning off the heat and adding salt and sugar, the still hot fruit and vegetable mixture will need to be poured into sterilized jars. Depending on the tastes of everyone at home, you can add or not add vegetable oil to it before pouring. In the first case, it turned out to be more liquid, as an additive to meat, and in the second, it was thicker (can be used as an independent side dish). It is most convenient to use small containers with screw-on lids to store this dish, since tkemali is most often used at a time in small quantities. Immediately after filling, the jars are left upside down for about 10 minutes. Only after this can they be sent for long-term storage in the refrigerator. Its lowest shelf is perfect for “wintering” the tkemali.

If the jars were sterile and the whole process was carried out correctly, then the sauce can be preserved for a year simply at room temperature. Tkemali can be served as an addition to any meat, chicken or even fish dishes. It's delicious simply spread on fresh bread or crispy, lightly toasted toast. In addition, the dish under discussion can replace a hearty vegetable side dish for gourmets or become an interesting component of soups and more complex sauces. For example, an unusual spicy pizza sauce is often made based on apple tkemali.

Apple sauce for meat

It is known that sauce can transform any dish. And meat, no matter what recipe it is prepared according to, also needs gravy. However, not every housewife knows well which sauce is best to serve pork or beef with. As a result, many people serve the same ketchup with any type of meat. In fact, it is believed that each type of meat dish needs a different sauce. In particular, fried and fatty meats harmonize best with sweet and sour gravy made from berries or fruits. For example, apple sauce for meat can be prepared without much difficulty. Meanwhile, duck or pork served underneath will sparkle with new colors, delighting you with an unusual but harmonious taste.

Cooking features

In order for apple sauce to have a pleasant consistency and a balanced taste that is suitable specifically for meat, you need to know a few subtleties.

  • For a sauce intended to be served with meat dishes, sour apple varieties such as Antonovka are best suited. If the apples are sweet, it is recommended to add lemon juice to the sauce.
  • Of all the seasonings, herbs and spices, cinnamon goes best with apples. It is added to apple sauce regardless of whether it is being prepared for dessert or a meat dish.
  • In order to make a sauce with a delicate texture, the apples must first be softened by cooking. Most often they are boiled or baked. Then the apples need to be chopped. The most reliable way is to rub the fruit through a sieve. Some people prefer to chop apples using a blender. This option is also acceptable, but in this case it is advisable to peel the apples before cooking, because pieces of peel found in the sauce will not improve its taste.
  • Applesauce should not be prepared in aluminum containers, as they can form harmful substances upon contact with acid.

The technology for preparing apple sauce may depend on the specific recipe, because the gravy may contain a variety of ingredients. In addition, it is obvious that sauce prepared for the winter is made completely differently from sauce not intended for long-term storage.

If you are baking not a chicken or a small piece of meat, but a goose or turkey, then you only need to add apples and onions to them 40–50 minutes before the dish is ready.
  • When the roast is done and removed from the oven, strain the apples and baked onions through a sieve. Stir.

Moreover, do not prepare them for the winter period. This preparation will also be an excellent addition to many dishes from the home menu.


Features of product selection

When choosing products for apple sauce, there are several rules and requirements for the quality of ingredients that must be met.

These tips will help you choose the best fruits and other products, thanks to which the dish will taste even more pleasant:

  • when choosing apples for sauce for meat, such as pork, you need to choose fruits that have a slightly sour taste;
  • if the choice fell on sweet fruits, then it makes sense to add a certain amount of citric acid to the sauce so that a slight sourness appears;
  • Rotten fruits should not be used, they can cause the product to sour in a very short time;
  • Regardless of what the apple sauce is prepared for (whether it will be sour or sweet), it is recommended to add cinnamon to it; it perfectly complements the taste of apples.



The sauce must have a delicate, uniform structure. In order to achieve this, the fruits are subjected to several stages of processing. First, you need to soften the apples so they can be processed. They are usually either baked or boiled.

After this, you need to make a homogeneous apple mass. The surest way is to grind the apples through a sieve. Some people prefer a more modern method to this method - using a blender. This is also acceptable. But in this case, you need to peel the apples in advance so that it does not interfere with processing and does not spoil the taste of the sauce.

The most important thing to remember is the choice of cookware in which the actual cooking takes place. Under no circumstances should aluminum containers be used for heat treatment of apples. This is due to the fact that aluminum, when in contact with acid, forms substances harmful to the human body.



Brown sugar is best. But if there is no choice, you can use white. The amount of sugar is always determined only by a person’s taste preferences. If you wish, you can prepare the sauce without using any sweet ingredient at all.

Liquid should also be added based on personal preference. If you like a thicker sauce, then you do not need to add water or add it, but in a very small amount. And if you want to try a product with a more liquid texture, you need to add more liquid. Instead of water, juice of various berries or fruits can be used to add a special taste.
