Ripe seasonal fruit is an inexpensive and universal ingredient of home-made preserves and pastries. A compote made of sweet and vinous pears or an aromatic apple pie will certainly make the autumn afternoon more pleasant. Although it is best to eat fresh fruit, it is worth keeping their unique taste for longer, even in the form of marmalade or juice. In order to make dishes from popular, sweet apples and pears more attractive, add a bit of a different flavor – to do so you can combine them with sour citrus fruit and fresh leaves of mint and melissa. Such a composition will enrich not only the taste of cakes and desserts, but also savory dishes.
