Wikipedia: "Tkemali...is Georgian name for cherry plum, as well as a sauce made of cherry plums. Tkemali is made from both red & green varieties of plum. The flavor of the sauce varies between sweet & pungently tart. To lower the tartness level, occasionally sweeter types of plums are added during preparation. Traditionally the following ingredients are used besides plum: garlic, pennyroyal, cilantro, dill, cayenne pepper & salt. Tkemali is used for fried or grilled meat, poultry & potato dishes much like ketchup is used in the West.”
Also: “Tkemali should not be eaten on spaghetti." Noted!
I bought a bottle, haven't used yet. Took a sample of it & it has a tangy, fruity flavor (more the bright flavorful side of that profile than just sweet) w/surprisingly harmonious undercurrent of dill. (I don't normally think of dill as something that would pair so well with fruity tang, but it works.)

Tkemali is used for fried or grilled meat, poultry and potato dishes much like ketchup is used in the West. It can be made at home, but is also mass produced by several Georgian and Russian companies. Tkemali should not be eaten on spaghetti."
