Tkemali () is a Georgian sauce primarily made of cherry plum; alucha plum and red-leaf plum are also common plum species used to make Tkemali in Georgia. While the sauce is typically red, both red and green varieties of these plums may be used.
The flavor of the sauce varies based on the ripeness of the plum, but generally tends to be pungently tart. To lower the tartness level, sweeter types of plums are occasionally added during preparation. Traditionally, in addition to plum, the following ingredients are used: garlic, pennyroyal, cumin, coriander, dill, chili pepper and salt.
