Gotgam mari is a no-bake fruit dessert served at Korean holiday gatherings and with tea. Dried persimmons are opened and flattened, filled with walnuts, rolled tightly, and sliced. The cross-section shows the walnut curls inside the orange persimmon like a flower. The roll holds together not because of added sugar, but because the dried persimmon flesh is naturally sticky.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Toast the walnuts

4 min

Toast the walnut halves in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan, until fragrant. Transfer them to a plate and let cool.

2

Open the persimmons

8 min

Trim the stems from the persimmons and cut each one lengthwise along one side, opening it like a book. Remove the pits and any tough fibers. Place the opened persimmons between two sheets of plastic wrap and roll them flat to an even thickness.

3

Arrange and roll

10 min

Arrange the flattened persimmons side by side on a sheet of plastic wrap, overlapping the edges to make one continuous strip. Spread a thin layer of honey on the inside. Line the walnuts along one edge of the strip. Lift the plastic wrap and roll tightly from the walnut-filled edge, then twist the ends of the wrap like a candy wrapper.

4

Chill until firm and slice

5 min

Place the roll in the freezer. Once firm, unwrap it and cut it with a sharp knife into 1 cm slices; the walnut curls should show in the cross-section. Serve with tea.

Reminder

Freeze the roll for at least 1 hour until firm before slicing, or the slices may come apart. Store sliced pieces in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Allergen information: Based on the ingredient list, this dessert contains tree nuts (walnuts). Check packaged-product labels for other allergens.

Dilimleri ince kestim, kalın dilimlerde ceviz düzeni görünmüyor.

Cevizi kavurmak rulonun tadını belirliyor, çiğ cevizle yaptığım ilk parti sönük kaldı. Kavurduktan sonra tamamen soğutmak da gerekiyor, ılık cevizi hurmanın içine dizince hurma yumuşayıp rulo şeklini tutmadı.

Balı çok koymayın, hurma zaten tatlı. Yapıştırıcı olarak az miktar yeterli.

Bal burada gerçekten yapıştırıcı görevinde. Hurmanız kuruysa biraz artırabilirsiniz ama yumuşak hurmada hiç gerekmeyebiliyor.

Sardıktan sonra streçe sarıp buzdolabında sıkılaştırdım, sıkılaşmadan kesince rulo açılıyor. En az iki saat beklettim; bir gece bıraktığım rulo daha da iyi kesildi ve dilimlerin kenarı düzgün çıktı.

Hurmaları açarken çekirdeklerini çıkarmak gerekiyor, yumuşak hurmada çekirdek ele geliyor.
