Slatko is a traditional Balkan dessert made from fruit and sugar. The word "slatko" literally translates to "sweet" in English. It is often served with coffee or as a dessert after meals.

History[edit | edit source]

The tradition of making slatko dates back to the Ottoman Empire, when it was introduced to the Balkans. It has since become a staple in many Balkan households.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

The preparation of slatko involves boiling fruit in sugar until it becomes a thick, syrupy consistency. The most common fruits used are strawberries, cherries, and plums, but any fruit can be used. The fruit is then preserved in the syrup and can be stored for a long time.

Serving[edit | edit source]

Slatko is traditionally served in a small dish with a spoon. It is often accompanied by a glass of water. In some cultures, it is customary to offer slatko to guests as a sign of hospitality.

Variations[edit | edit source]

There are many variations of slatko, depending on the fruit used. Some popular variations include strawberry slatko, cherry slatko, and plum slatko.
