About the dish

Paluza or plete is a traditional Bosnian pudding-like treat made with only jabukov pekmez and wheat flour. Water and jabukov pekmez are cooked until boiling, and then a mixture of wheat flour and water is poured into it while constantly stirring, cooking until thickened. The pudding is transferred into a bowl and chilled until cool. Traditionally, everybody would eat it from the same bowl, but now the paulza is usually portioned. Also, often sugar is added these days, and the top can be garnished with ground walnuts. The Bosnian paluza should not be confused with the Turkish pelte, which is a fruit jelly.
