Salad “Beware, Vodka!” It was not by chance that it received such a name: it is truly ideal as a snack for this strong drink.

Raspberry jelly with red currants is the optimal dessert for those gourmands who cannot live a day without sweets, but try to limit the caloric content of their diet. Of course, this dish contains sugar, but there is not a drop of fat, so if you are not particularly keen on tasting, the scales will not move upward. We took the liberty of adding a tablespoon of vodka to the raspberry jelly for a brighter taste, but this is not at all necessary. But be sure to keep the following note in mind! To prepare jelly, it is necessary to add not very ripe currants to accompany fully ripe raspberries: they contain a lot of pectin, so the quality of the finished dessert will be much higher.

Pear jam is a homemade product that even a novice cook can easily make. You don’t have to work magic over a bowl of syrup or somehow cleverly prepare the fruit mass.

It is important to note that for this jam you can use any pears, even overripe ones. For a richer flavor, add lemon juice, zest and lemon slices to the pears. You can cook jam even without adding sugar - as a rule, pears have enough of their own sweetness. But if the product is intended for long-term storage, sugar will still have to be added. The finished jam is great for filling pies or layering sponge cake layers, and can also be served with waffles, pancakes or pancakes.
