Homemade Preserves Recipes \u2013 Sweet and Savory<\/h1>\r\nIn the past, no self-respecting housewife could imagine going through the winter without making preserves.\r\nNowadays, in the age of supermarkets where everything is on the shelves and we don\u2019t have to worry about seasonal fruits and vegetables, we often forget about homemade preserves<\/strong>.\r\nMany of us don\u2019t know how to make them, or we simply don\u2019t feel like it. First, because it takes time, and second \u2014 often there\u2019s nowhere to store them.\r\nWe live in apartment buildings, and keeping dozens of jars of preserves isn\u2019t feasible.\r\nDo you make any preserves yourself?\r\n

Homemade Preserves Recipes<\/h2>\r\nI also live in an apartment, but I do make preserves. Certainly not in the quantities my mother used to, but at least a few jars of each type.\r\nMost importantly, there must always be pickled cucumbers<\/strong> \u2014 what you can get in the store is often a poor substitute, barely suitable even for cucumber soup, and sometimes not even that.\r\nMy kids (and we too) love homemade pickles<\/a>, and none are as good as homemade. At the beginning of the cucumber season, naturally, they have to be lightly salted ;).\r\nLately, the weather has been very unpredictable, and the quantity and price of fruits vary from year to year. I usually make jams or preserves from the fruits that are most abundant \u2014 from strawberries<\/a>, raspberries<\/a>, or cherries<\/a>. These are our favorite \u201cpreserve\u201d fruits.\r\nOf course, you can also freeze these fruits, or even better, turn some into liqueur (you\u2019ll find several recipes in the Drinks section \u2014 including my favorite strawberry liqueur).\r\n
