The preserve season is in full swing, we like to put both fruit and vegetables in the jars. On colder days, all you have to do is bring them from the basement. Made sweet they go well with desserts with whipped cream, ice cream and cakes. Interestingly, they can also be a good addition to savory dishes, such as meat. For example, the well-known plums in vinegar.

How to make pears in geranium syrup?
- Peel the pears and remove the cores. Cut the fruit in half or into quarters or eighths.
- Pour water into a pot, a spoonful of lemon juice. Add sugar. Add vanilla pod, cloves (if you don’t like their taste, you can limit yourself to 1 piece) and a slice of lemon, which can be replaced with double the amount of lemon juice and grated peel from a well-boiled lemon. Bring everything to a boil..
- Add the fruit, reduce the heat to the lowest and heat them for 20 minutes – if we have small pieces of pears, 15 minutes will be enough.
- In the meantime, prepare the jars, they should be well washed and necessarily sterilized. We also check the caps , there should be no traces of rust on them.
- Place the pears in dry jars, add geranium leaves , pour sweet juice over them, leaving 1 cm from the rim. Place them upside down on a cloth for a few minutes.
- To be on the safe side, you can pasteurize them for 15 minutes.
What properties does geranium have?
Geranium is a magical plant also called angina, pelargonium , or more colloquially angina. Our grandmothers and later mothers used its properties; at home, there were always a few pots of this plant on the windowsill. In some families, this tradition has survived to this day. It is easy to grow and grows even in people who do not have a hand for plants. This is a proven recipe for earache , it reduces swelling, which speeds up healing. It also has an analgesic effect. It is very simple to use: tear off a leaf, crush it in your hands so that it releases juice. Gently insert it into your ear, but not too deeply. We do the same with herpes, knead the leaf and apply it to the lesion. You can feel relief after a while. If we use it at the very beginning of herpes development, it can stop the development process. What else can be used for tonsillitis?
It is also said that the positive effect can only be noticed by inhaling its intense scent, which has a distinctly lemony note. In herbal shops and in some pharmacies you can buy geranium oil. It can be used as analgesic, relaxing rubs, as well as for inhalation – it will also work well in baths, just a few drops. It also has a beneficial effect on the complexion, it also has anti-wrinkle properties. There is also geranium tincture , just mix crushed leaves with vodka. It is ready to drink after 12 days. Maybe this option will convince the skeptics.
