Barberries in Sugar

4 servings

Ingredients

• 500 g selected barberries with stems
• 500 g sugar

Instructions

1. The berries ripen at the end of September or beginning of October.
2. Place the fruits in a container, clarify the sugar and pour it over them, not too hot, so that the berries do not detach from their stems.
3. After 48 hours, reduce the juice to a syrup and, once cooled, fill into glasses with the fruits.
4. This preserve is primarily used to beautifully decorate puddings and cakes.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
