Homemade preserves keep for a long time. This preserve is excellent for baking, compotes, and kissels. These berries can be used to decorate desserts. It is best to use fine sugar; it dissolves faster and turns into syrup that can be poured over pancakes and syrniki and added to cocktails. The preserve stores well in the refrigerator.
