“My kids” just arrived from Turkey with this “acuka” . No pomegranate molasses but much in common with Muhammara.
"The original version of acuka is said to be from Syria and there are also variations such as muhummara in the Middle-East and adjik or adjika in Georgia and Russia. Some versions are spicy, some versions are not, some contain tomato as a main ingredients, others have a focus more the red pepper ingredient.
The key to success in making it is to get a really good sun-dried paprika paste…"
Also this one, which DIL calls “Absinnian Salt”; similar ingredients she says, but mostly salt.
