How to dry viburnum at home
Kalina is a beautiful and useful plant. Viburnum sings very late, so harvesting viburnum berries is best done after the first frost. And although viburnum berries turn red long before ripening, even birds do not eat it until the first frost. Unripe viburnum is hard, bitter and tasteless, while ripe berries are soft and almost transparent.
It is this ripe viburnum that is harvested in order to prepare for the winter. Fruit drinks, juices, tinctures, marmalade, marshmallow, jam and jam are prepared from viburnum. Drying is one of the best ways to harvest viburnum for the winter. You can dry viburnum in the oven or electric dryer.
Dry viburnum is stored in a dry, dark, cool place, in glass or tin cans. You can store dry viburnum for up to 4 years, using it for making tea, uzvars or chewing it as a natural vitamin delicacy.
