Engagement favors

[vicky_vicky]

We are working on them with my mom, so far we bought everything we need and we did a few just to figure them out, I still wonder wether I shall put a sticker with our monogram on top of each little jar.

Step 1.
We bought a sweet treat very common in Greece, it is made of fruit, sugar, water and some glucose syrup, its delicious I am telling you! This one in the picture is black cherry, in the background is sour cherry, we also got cherry and some strawberry. The best tasting is black cherry, its divine!

Step 2.
We got these little jars each one contains 40ml. We will fill them with sweet.

Step 3.
So I have little organtina bags like this one, the little jar, and three sugared almonds for each favor

Now, what is that treat called? and how do you use it - ie on toast? icecream? I want to try some of it!

[vicky_vicky]

it is called like the fruit it is made of e.g strawberry spoon sweet, cherry spoon sweet, fig sweet etc


its like marmalade only it contains the whole fruit.

Of course and you can put it on ice cream or yoghurt but you can eat it like this on a small plate! Do you want recipe?
They make all kind of weird staff about this treat, not only fruit but small eggplants, small tomatoes, carrots, rose petals(this is what I wanted for my favors but I couldnt find it), the outside part of oranges or grapefruits...)

Sure, I would love the recipe. I'd also like to see if I could find it already made in some specialty shop around here (Montreal is very multi cultural). I would rather know what it's supposed to taste like before I try making it myself LOL

ok, if you find it dont get strawberry, it is very sweet and it has no particular taste so you wont be able to understand what its about.

But you know, is like boiled fruit with syrup, thats all.:D:D
