PUMPKIN

One of my favorite food is pumpkin. Ripe pumpkin has a very orange color. The taste is sweet. Pumpkin is brought to Europe from America (Mexico). Pumpkin is rich with protein, carbohydrates and fat, with vitamins (carotene or pro-vitamin A, vitamin C, E and K and the B vitamins - B1, B2, B6, niacin then, folic acid, etc..) and minerals (potassium, phosphorus, calcium, iron). Energy value is small 26 kcal per 100 grams.

First we halve a pumpkin.

Than we peel the outer part of the crust and clean the middle of seeds.

We can leave seeds to dry. It is good to treat prostate inflammation.

We can make a large number of different meals of pumpkin.

Vodnjika-Old Serbian drink

-300 grams of berries (juniper)

-300 grams of rose hips

-5 kg of wild pears

Put all fruits into a barrel and pour 20 liters of water over. Tightly close and leave it ten days to said. When you want to serve, take out of a juice as much as you want to drink and leave the fruits in the barrel. Sweeten with honey.

How much of vodnjika you take out to drink that much of clean water pour into the barrel. On this way it will last longer and will remain almost unchanged until spring.
