Tklapi is a traditional Georgian fruit leather made from pureed fruit, often enjoyed as a sweet and tangy snack.

This delightful treat has been a part of Georgian cuisine for centuries, with families passing down their unique recipes through generations.

To make Tklapi, start by pureeing your choice of fruit and mixing it with a bit of sugar. Spread the mixture evenly on a tray and let it dry in the sun or in an oven for about 8 hours until it forms a leathery texture.

While the classic recipe is simple, you can customize Tklapi by experimenting with different fruits or adding spices like cinnamon for an extra kick.

In Georgia, Tklapi is typically served as a snack or dessert, often enjoyed on its own or paired with nuts and cheese for a delightful combination of flavors.

From a nutritional standpoint, Tklapi is a great source of vitamins and fiber, thanks to the fruit content. However, be mindful of the sugar content if you are watching your sugar intake.
