Pekmez (the origin of the word is Turkish[citation needed]) is a Turkish syrup-like liquid obtained after condensing juices of (especially) grape, fig or mulberry by boiling with coagulant agents. It is used as a syrup or mixed with tahini for breakfasts.

Most of the grape products in Turkey are in the form of pekmez and raisins, particularly sultanas.

There is also another kind of Pekmez, made from Carob, called Keçiboynuzu Pekmezi or Harnup Pekmezi in Turkish language.
