A bottle of bright red raspberry jam in the middle of winter, a spicy chutney as an accompaniment to a hearty autumn dinner, or a bottle of elderberry juice when the flu virus attacks - these are all real treasures in the kitchen. They are prepared with love throughout the year, and then wait patiently in the cellar or the pantry to be used sooner or later. They add flavor or complement our meals, they often stand on their own, and when hidden in attractive packaging, they can turn into a loving gift.
