Raspberry fig
Description
For those who are completely unfamiliar: "smokva" is a fruit or berry purée that has been heavily reduced with sugar and then air-dried or dried in a warm oven (40–50 degrees). Essentially, it is the same as fruit leather, except you can make it from almost any fruit or berries without adding egg whites.
