Forget traditional jam! Discover a new way to preserve strawberries for winter that retains not only their perfect appearance but also maximum beneficial properties. The berries undergo minimal heat treatment, ensuring all vitamins remain intact. Preparing strawberries in syrup takes very little time, and after cooling, they can be immediately stored. This is a simple and delicious way to enjoy the taste of summer all year round!

Thoroughly wash and dry the strawberries. Carefully remove the leaves. Prepare a saucepan, sterilized jars, and a sieve for the next steps.

Cut each strawberry in half. If the strawberries are very large, cut them into smaller, more manageable pieces for preservation.

Carefully transfer the sliced strawberries into the pre-sterilized jar, taking care not to damage the berries.

Pour water into a saucepan and place it over medium heat to begin preparing the syrup.

Add sugar to a saucepan with water. Stir thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Then, pour in the vanilla extract and mix well again. Bring the syrup to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove the finished syrup from the stove.

Carefully pour the hot syrup over the strawberries in the jars, ensuring the berries are completely submerged. Seal the jars tightly with lids, allow them to cool to room temperature, then store them in a cool place.

Serve the fragrant strawberries in syrup, garnished with a fresh sprig of mint for an extra touch of charm and freshness.

Discover a fresh take on the beloved "Kartoshka" cake! This recipe is perfect for those mindful of their diet, as it contains significantly less sugar than the classic version. The dessert's base is rice cakes, which can be substituted with oat or multi-grain varieties. The combination of banana, honey, cocoa powder, and delicate plant-based milk (we used coconut, but feel free to experiment with any other!) creates an incredibly delicious and wholesome treat that won't compromise your figure.

Prepare the classic Greek Kataifi dessert: with pistachios, aromatic cinnamon, and a delicate sweet syrup featuring a refreshing citrusy lemon accent. We'll roll elegant pastries from airy dough filled with nuts, generously brush them with melted butter, and bake until golden brown. The hot dessert, fresh from the oven, should be generously drizzled with syrup and allowed to soak thoroughly. This is how you'll achieve the most authentic, incredibly delicious Kataifi! This dish is made from a special, thread-like phyllo dough, which can be purchased at specialty bakeries or Middle Eastern stores.
