Preserve is a typical Serbian specialty. The traditional Serbian welcome would always start with a preserve and slivowitz, a well-known plum brandy.

Preserve is a home made product, prepared in a traditional manner by experienced housewives and cooks. It is prepared on wood-burning stove in huge open pots used only once a year to make the preserve. It is entirely pure product. Sugar sometimes tends to crystallize, however it does not alter the quality of the preserve.

The preserve consists of whole fruits which can be seen in thick syrup. It is served on a tray in small bowls together with a glass of fresh water. A guest usually takes a teaspoon of the preserve and a sip of water (if someone wishes to take more another teaspoon should be used).

Ethno Food offers several flavors of preserve: wild strawberries preserve, blueberries preserve, blackberries preserve, plum preserve, cherries preserve, plums filled with walnuts preserve and quince preserve.

Upon special request Ethno Food will prepare other fruits preserve as well.
