Spoon Sweets – A Traditional Greek Dessert

“Glyka tou Koutaliou” or a sweet spoonful of Greek hospitality would best describe the most ubiquitous dessert in Greece and Cyprus. Served on ornate crystal plates with a spoon, of course, and some cold water, spoon sweets are not only an integral part of Greek cuisine, they are also a traditional gesture of hospitality.

On every Greek island, in every village, and even in the modern-day city, the “glyko tou koutaliou” (or sweet of the spoon) is offered to guests as a gesture of welcome.

What is a Spoon Sweet?

So what is a spoon sweet? The glyko tou koutaliou has evolved from the ancient practice of drying seasonal fruits and vegetables and combining with honey or molasses to preserve throughout the year.

In its current form (with sugar) it is believed to have come to Greece via traders from the East.

The spoon sweet can be made with virtually any fruit or vegetable though there are favorites depending on climate, location and local and seasonal production. So during your trip to Greece you will come across everything from nut sweets such as the “karydaki”, pistachio or “kastano glyko” to lemon blossoms and rose petal sweets. The variety is limitless, really: sour cherries, grapes, figs, and oranges. eggplant, watermelon, bitter oranges (neratzaki), carrot, sweet beet, tomato, mushrooms and olives. And on Cyprus, you may even come across onions, garlic and cucumber – for the sweet tooth!

Building Blocks: Preserving Greece’s Spoon Sweets Tradition

A guest arriving at a Greek home should expect an overwhelming array of traditional welcoming treats that will be presented upon their arrival, from coffee and cookies, to cakes, homemade liqueurs, loukoumi and more. But there’s one sweet something that has long been linked with hospitality and welcoming in any proper, traditional Greek home: glyko tou koutaliou, or “spoon sweet,” a type of fruit preserve whose roots go way back to ancient times.

For centuries, preservation was a necessary part of the harvest – it was the only way to make excess fresh fruits and vegetables last for as long as possible. Based on historic references, we know that the most common preservation methods included sun-drying fruits and vegetables or preserving them in either honey or grape molasses (petimezi), which usually involved first boiling the fruit.

The ancient Greeks made something called melimilon (μελίμηλον): quince boiled in wine and then preserved in honey. It was through making this dish that pectin – a key ingredient in marmalade making – was discovered. Later, with the arrival of sugar to this side of the world and the gradual decrease of its price, preservation in sugar syrup begun.
