Breakfast: ծիրանաբլիթ (Tsiranablit) – Apricot Preserves with Bread

Breakfast ծիրանաբլիթ (Tsiranablit) refers to sun-cooked or jarred apricot preserves, often spread over lavash or paired with fresh cheese. In Armenian households, this golden sweetness captures the essence of summer. At MUNCH CLASSES, you’ll learn to make, store, and serve tsiranablit year-round.

Apricot orchards are sacred in Armenian agriculture—so much so that the color of the national flag represents apricot fruit. The proverb “Ծիրանը՝ լույս արևի մեջ” (“Apricot is sunlight captured”) speaks to its symbolism. At MUNCH CLASSES, we turn ripe fruit and tradition into a breakfast that glows with memory.
