Stinging nettle with rice

Before posting this recipe I looked a bit in internet to see for other recipes for stinging nettle. I was so surprised that there were not many. Nettle is so delicious and nutritious and healthy food and most of all it grow practically everywhere around us especially in the spring. I love going for a walk with thick protective gloves and picking young green nettle leafs.

When the onion starts looking crystal add the rice, salt and the red pepper powder. Stir for about 4-5 minutes and pour hot water and boil on low heat or in the oven for about 30 minutes. When ready sprinkle with chopped parsley. The dish can be served warm or cold.

Recipe for Healthy Strawberry and apple jam

This is my healthier recipe for strawberry and apple jam. I usually use 1 kg strawberries, 1.5 kg apples and 500 gr natural brown sugar.

I like to add also vanilla or Pelargonium, but you can decide on this. Choose naturally sweet apples and then you can decrease the amount of sugar a bit. This recipe will have also interesting taste if you use different types of apples. Half of the apples can be sweet and half can be sour for example. The procedure is simple and it applies almost to any jam that you make. Grate the apples and put them into the pot, boil on medium heat while regularly stirring until they soften in their own juice. Add the strawberries, the vanilla and the sugar, continue stirring the jam on medium hot stove and after it thickens pour it into dry jars. With this recipe you can keep the jam for a very long time. Close the jars with a good lid while they are still hot and leave them until they cool. This way the jam is preserved airtight. You can store the jars in a cool room, like basement or storage and open one when you want to have nice sweet breakfast.
