Global Cuisine: Russia
Russia is known for her snowy and cold weather most of the time. And in order to eat fruits and vegetables during the winter, Russians love to make a preserved cucumbers,tomatos, mushrooms, pepers and every desert includes home made jam.
I remember my mother used to do lots of preserved vegies and cook many sorts of jams from different fruits we gathered during the summer. And in a snowy winter we used to sit around the table, drink a hot tea and eat our treasures from the summer.
