I love thhe simplicity of so many Latvian dishes (of which I’ve learned just from your blog); simple but always delicious. I have liked the black rye bread since I first tasted it many years ago but would never have thought of using it in this way. I will.
Let me know or chat if you have any questions. There are many variations, but the main thing is – jam/jucie or whatever should be with sour taste 🙂
I have the perfect thing. Don’t know what they’d be called in another language but in Romanian, visine. My favourite fruit. A kind of sour cherry.
PS. Prunus cerasus
🙂 I think that won’t be a good idea. It’s more like blackcurrants, cranberries, red currants, etc. But try and then we both know 😀
Did I misunderstand you? I thought you said you preferred ‘sour’ juice. The juice from visine compote is just that. Usually I just drink it from the jar when I’ve finished the visine.
Try it and let me know! I never had one with cherry :). Traditional is cranberry… my variation is black currants.
How lovely!!
You know I’ve shared this before on ilz’n’elle but I made it few days ago and couldn’t resist to bring recipe here.
That looks really yummy and healthy too🤗
It is healthy if you don’t add too much sugar in whip cream and use juice… for example with honey instead of white refined sugar 🙂
When I first read ‘Rye Bread’ and ‘Dessert’ I thought Ewww. But it looks and sounds delicious. I would really love to try this recipe.
Yes, that is something that might sound Ewww! My husband still won’t taste it, but I grew up with this “interesting” taste 🙂
