The syrup that coats it is boiled from honey and mulberry juice, thickened with a touch of flour — no refined sugar in the traditional recipe, just what Ghizer's orchards produce.

Shelled walnuts are dipped and steeped in a thick mixture of honey and mulberry juice until they soften and soak up the sweetness. Ghizer district markets sell it as a portable sweet snack, especially during the walnut and mulberry harvest season.

Why it's made this way: Ghizer's walnut orchards and mulberry trees gave the district its own signature sweet, built largely from what grows locally rather than imported sugar or syrup.
