Naturally, with fresh berries and fruits notcan compare neither their frozen version, nor canned. Nevertheless, they have one undeniable advantage. For example, from seasonal berries and fruits you can brew jelly and compotes in long-known combinations. A combination of these are due to the maturation of specific fruits. After all, by the time of the ripening of the plums, the cherry is already descending, and the strawberry will not wait for the same blackcurrant or gooseberry. And in places where you can collect fresh cranberries, you will never grow apricots. So, to cook fresh berries from cranberry-apricot compote or strawberry-cherry kissel is very problematic. But you can cook this jelly from frozen berries without problems! Of course, we are not pioneers. Our predecessors also harvested vitamins for future use, but they did it differently. They more and more jams cooked and dried apples, pears, cherries and plums. And what do we have? Yes, go to any supermarket! There you have cherry and plum, and cranberries, and cranberries, and currants, and strawberries ... And all this in a freshly frozen form. And you can not go to the store, and harvest seasonal berries for future use, freezing them yourself. Then you can definitely cook such a jelly, as you wish, having invented your own recipe. Or you can choose a recipe from the suggestions.
