Slatko

Slatko is a Serbian fruit preserve made up of distinct, usually whole pieces of fruit doused in a thick, sugary syrup. It can be made with quinces, watermelon rinds, cherries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, figs, grapes, plums, prunes, and even rose petals, while sugar-based syrups are frequently flavored with vanilla, lemon juice, cinnamon, or cloves.

Serbian slatko, which translates as "sweet," is a symbol of hospitality that is traditionally given as a warm welcome to guests. It is always served in small glass bowls, and guests should only take a spoonful of the preserve.

A portion of slatko is typically served with a glass of water and is followed by coffee and traditional plum brandy (rakija). Slatko is synonymous with Greek spoon sweets, but similar preserves can also be found in Montenegro and Bulgaria.

Lots of travelers highly recommended this delicious dish as one of the must-try foods in this country.
