Sladko refers
to a number of special jams that belong to
Balkan cooking as well as to Jewish cooking.
Traditionally, these jams are served on a
small glass plate together with a teaspoon
and a glass of water. Sladko is different
from the European type of jam, because when
preparing Sladko, the sugar is first boiled
to make a kind of syrup, and the fruit is
only added later on.
In the preparation of Sladko, many
ingredients are used that are not common in
traditional European jam. For example, in
Eastern
Jewish cooking, there are variants where
radish is boiled in honey. Sladko can also
be made from carrots or beetroots. |
