About Chisăliță

Bunica’s chisăliță recalls the author’s grandmother serving cooked sour fruit with mămăligă. This green-cherry-plum version uses water and sugar, while the flour-thickened versions mentioned in the introduction remain separate.

Green plums supply the sourness, with sugar balancing their sharp flavour. The author allows further sugar according to the fruit’s acidity rather than defining every batch by one sweetness level.

The fruit softens and the mixture thickens as it cooks. This version keeps the stones in the green fruit, as described, and is served with mămăligă for dipping.
