Cherry leaves

Summer is in full swing and it's time to think about creating delicious homemade preparations for the winter. Pickled cucumbers are one of our favorite winter treats. Today I will tell you how you can make delicious homemade instant pickles.

Small canned green cucumbers with cute little bumps are a favorite winter snack for my household. In recent years, they prefer crispy pickled cucumbers with honey to all other preparations.

Cute green little cucumbers and fleshy red peppers complement each other perfectly in taste and create a beautiful color scheme. Year after year, I marinate these two wonderful vegetables in liter jars in a sweet and sour marinade without vinegar, but with citric acid.

My family really loves homemade pickles, so I make a lot of them. Today, according to my plan, I have spiced tomatoes canned for the winter without sterilization. This is a fairly simple recipe, almost classic, but with some minor personal modifications.

There are some varieties of jam that, once you try them, you will never forget them. They are difficult to prepare, but believe me, it's worth it. Gooseberry jam can be prepared in several ways, and in any case it will be delicious, but “Tsar’s Emerald Jam” is something special. A jar of this jam is opened only on major holidays and every drop is enjoyed. Want to try?

The familiar chokeberry has another beautiful name - chokeberry. This shrub lives in the gardens of many summer residents, but the fruits are not very popular. But in vain! Chokeberry is very useful! Dishes prepared from this berry are able to regulate high blood pressure, which is certainly appreciated by hypertensive patients. In addition, chokeberry contains a huge amount of vitamins and microelements that our body constantly needs.

A bad cherry harvest does not mean that you will be left without cherry syrup for the winter. After all, you can make syrup not only from cherry berries, but also from its leaves. Of course, the taste will be somewhat different, but you won’t confuse the bright cherry aroma with anything else.
