Slatko
Slatko can be made with a variety of fruits, including cherries, apricots, and plums. The fruit is cooked with sugar and water until it forms a thick, syrupy mixture. The preserve is then poured into jars and left to cool and set. Slatko has a sweet and fruity flavor, with a thick and sticky texture. It is often served with a cup of coffee or tea.

Tips & Tricks
To ensure that Slatko has a thick and syrupy consistency, it is important to cook the fruit and sugar mixture over low heat for a long period of time. It is also important to sterilize the jars before pouring in the preserve to ensure that it stays fresh for longer.
