Gozinaqi or Gozinaki (Georgian: გოზინაყი) is a traditional Georgian confection made of caramelized nuts usually walnuts fried in honey and served exclusively on New Year’s Eve and Christmas. In the western Georgian provinces of Imereti and Racha it was sometimes called Churchkhela a name more commonly applied to walnuts sewn onto a string dipped in thickened white grape juice and dried. In several of Georgia’s rural areas both walnuts and honey used to have sacral associations.
