Probably, every homeland has its favorite homemade recipes. In the absence of the internet and a vast selection of cookbooks, our mothers and grandmothers carefully recorded them in notebooks, to later share the recipes with friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Especially liked recipes were cut out from newspapers and magazines, adjusted to available ingredients, modified to suit their taste, and eventually turned into their own homemade recipes.

Sauerkraut with apples has been prepared for the winter in Russian villages since time immemorial. Back then, of course, they didn’t really follow the recipes, but they followed the general principles. The cabbage was chopped with a special tool - chopping in wooden troughs, then combined with thin sliced ​​carrots and placed in barrels, lined with sour apples (Antonovka). They also placed a slice of rye bread at the bottom of each container and covered it with whole cabbage leaves. Why did they do this? So that the fermentation process goes more actively and faster, of course! The result was not only delicious crispy cabbage, but also very tasty apples, which were often served separately as a snack.

Raisin wine at home is worth trying at least once! It is completely different from a drink made from fresh berries and has a special aroma and tart, rich taste. It's all due to dried grapes. Such berries concentrate more sugar and minerals. Therefore, the drink prepared on their basis turns out to be sweeter and stronger. Another big plus of raisin wine is that it can be made all year round! For the drink, choose large, aromatic berries that are minimally processed with preservatives. It is very important that wild yeast remains on them, which starts the fermentation process. Therefore, try to buy raisins from a trusted place, avoiding cheap varieties. Or you can take several to try and then choose the one that gave the best result.
