Stone berry, drupe, drupelet.. Once the do not call this useful berry! It is a storehouse of vitamins and minerals. It has the property of converting kidney stones in the sand - and they are easily removed from the body.
Typically, in the villages of it for the future to do so: in enameled bucket poured bramble and filled to the brim with water from the well. Usually closed lid of the bucket and the bucket lowered into the cellar. Berry kept in perfect condition throughout the winter.
But we have, alas, no cold cellars... But there is a modern refrigerators!
As I procured it for the winter? I collect it in the period of maturity, not mnu in the collection and oversleeping - berry must be an integer.
I impose bramble tightly into clean sterilized jars, during poddavlivat her gently pestle to trample part of berries and gave the juice. And so gradually pour the berries - and gently crush.
The filled jar berries from top to bottom are covered with juice. Hexanoic close lid, washed with hot water, and put in the refrigerator. Usually I do so 6-7-liter jars.
Lacked any of them in the winter, in the spring, during the May holidays - stone bramble, such as if it had just been brought out of the woods: a fragrant, live!
Can be in a bowl for her to add honey or sugar - to taste. I love to add it to tea - it becomes tastier than a lemon.
Winter colds necessarily add these berries in herbal teas to drink. Regales friends bramble - bring them on New Year's table.
