These look delicious and right up my street - bookmarking this recipe as I've got a massive tub of ground mahlab from making Greek Easter bread for a client and nothing else using it has taken my fancy so far!

How lucky! It's not an easy ingredient, quite frankly I've only used mine for making pogaca 😄 What did you make with it for your client?

Vasilopita Tsoureki, a New Years version of the classic Easter bread! I've got a load of mastic left over from that one too...!

Will look that one up! Ah, mastic...didn't quite figure that one out yet.

It was a ghost writing project so I'm afraid I can't send you the link but it should be easily Google-able!

And I'd love to hear any other mastic applications other than enriched Greek breads - only time I ever reach for it.

They use it in desserts here – ice cream and cookies are popular!
