Russian Varenie

Harvest season is coming and it is time to start making preserves for winter. In Russian, it is called VARENYE time. Liquid, clear and with the berries and fruits still intact – this marks the main difference between Varenye and jams & comfitures. In the Russian tradition, you are supposed to eat Varenye with spoon, while drinking tea, or cold water in summer. Varenya can be made with any berries or fruits - raspberries, gooseberries, strawberries, apricots and many others. Try it soon, or maybe think about a nice present for someone – the taste of Russian summer preserved in a glass jar. Bon appetite!
