Preserves for Winter

Delicious and aromatic dandelion jam, also called dandelion honey, which is not only very pleasant to taste but also has a lot of beneficial properties.

Pickled green tomatoes are a beloved Eastern European preserve that turns unripe tomatoes into a tangy, crunchy snack perfect for winter. This straightforward recipe follows the classic Soviet-era method – just garlic, dill, bay leaf and a basic vinegar brine – and produces reliably delicious results every time.

The technique uses a double-pour hot brine method, so there is no need for sterilization and the jars keep all winter at room temperature. Firm green tomatoes hold their shape and develop a satisfying crunch that red tomatoes simply cannot match. Below we provide exact brine ratios for both small and large jars, step-by-step photos, and guidance on choosing tomatoes at just the right stage of ripeness.

Sweet strawberries and sour-sweet cherries complement each other perfectly. It can confidently be said that this aromatic strawberry and pitted cherry jam will appeal to everyone.

Cherry jam with pits for winter, despite the name, is not prepared quickly. After a five-minute boil, it is still infused, and this happens several times.

How pleasant it is to indulge yourself in the winter chill with a cup of incredibly fragrant tea with rose petal jam. Aromatic rose jam is not just a delicacy.
