Boost Your Immune System with Black Mulberry Marmelade

Because black mulberries are strong against pests, you can preserve them in the fridge or you can dry them to use later on. This fruit is a great antioxidant and a great boost for the immune system. Black mulberry mollases, pectin and "pestil" (dry paste) are commonly found in Turkey. It may be difficult to make these because they need a great deal of boiling, but with this recipe you can easily make black mulberry marmelade at home.

Light Fried Peas and Eggs (Mujver)

It's the right time to find peas in the market. Go buy some fresh peas in their pods, shell them and either throw them in the freezer in a fridge bag ready to cook, or boil them and do some canning. If you want to eat them now, use this recipe to make a delicious meal with peas and eggs. By the way up in our home town peas are called "bezene" and they can be eaten raw with their pods, because the peas in these pods are very small. We cook this recipe with "bezene" (peas in their pods), but I assume you are using larger peas so you should shell them and use the peas only.

Boiling Jars to Preserve Your Home Made Food

Sometimes we need to preserve our jams, marmelades, pastes, pickles, etc. to eat later on. Prepare your jam and pickles in the summer when the fruit and veggies are in season and eat them in the winter. Store your home made stuff as you wish in sterile glass jars. Some of you already put your goodies in jars to save for later, and so you should have your jars sterile so they can be longer lasting. After all the effort you've been through to prepare those jams, pickles, tomatoe and pepper pastes, etc...

Home Made Strawberry Jam

Last weekend I came across some lovely strawberries that had that odour that reminded me of old fashion home made jam. At the spot I decided to make some jam at home. What tastes better than fruit and vegetables bought in their season? So I got the strawberries came straight home bread or on my ice cream ocasionally. I think I'll have to make some more before fresh strawberries run out in the market. With this recipe you will get approximately 2.5 kg of jam.
