The tender meat is harmoniously complemented by juicy plums that become soft when grilled and add a pleasant tartness to the shashlik. The finishing touch is red currant jelly that gives the meat shine and a fruity accent. This dish is perfect for warm evenings outdoors, creating an atmosphere of celebration and enjoyment of Georgian traditions.
