dried bell peppers

This is a terrific appetizer, can be used for bruschetta or added to unsweetened baked goods (bread, pizza, rolls), or can be munched just from the jar. An awesome appetizer.

Raspberry vinegar

This dressing has been in my kitchen for several years now. I can't go without it! It goes great on fresh salads and meat dishes. I even dress my regular coleslaw with this vinegar.

Sauerkraut

I usually make squashed cabbage using the brine method and the cabbage always turns out juicy and crispy. But I wanted a change and tried the dry method of cabbage fermentation, which my husband's mom told me. The cabbage according to this recipe turned out delicious and crispy, and the cooking process is not complicated at all. It's a great way to store cabbage for the winter.

Homemade lard (melted pork lard)

Lard has been cooked in Ukrainian and Russian cuisine for a long time. Lard can be stored for a very long time, and it is used instead of vegetable or butter oil for frying, cooking dough, etc. Do not be frightened by the name, the process of cooking clarified butter is not labor-intensive, although it takes a long time.

Sauerkraut (pickled) tomatoes with mustard

A very simple and not troublesome, but successful recipe for souring tomatoes. I learned it from my husband's mom, and now we always use this recipe to pickle tomatoes for the winter. Sour tomatoes are perfect as an appetizer, or simply with mashed potatoes - delicious.

Sun-dried tomatoes

Sun-dried tomatoes are easy to prepare, but will take time to dry. But in winter, they're a godsend - you can eat them plain, add them to pizza, sandwiches, baked goods, pasta, etc. The recipe is from Natasha, thank you to her.
