Slatko od dunja

Belonging to a wide variety of traditional preserves that are known as slatko, this delicacy is prepared with a simple method in which diced or grated quinces are cooked in a flavorful mixture of water, sugar, and lemon juice. The preserve is occasionally enriched with spices or chopped walnuts and is usually stored in jars. Though slatko od dunja can be used in various desserts, it is traditionally offered as a sweet snack, usually served on a plate and accompanied by a glass of water or local brandy. This fragrant preserve is a staple throughout Serbia and Montenegro.
