The children helped to make Churchkhela (Georgian: ჩურჩხელა), a traditional sausage-shaped candy made by repeatedly dipping a long string of nuts in tatara – a mixture of flour, sugar and Badagi (concentrated fresh grape juice). Churchkhela is usually made in the Autumn when the grapes and nuts are ripe.
