Place apples inside of spring form close to the edge (but not touching them). Pour prepared mixture, making sure that wholes on apples are filled too. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly, then turn over onto serving plate, take the paper off, slice and serve with cream (optional)

Rose Petals Cordial
Rose petals are edible. In Bosnia (and many other countries) they're used for making cordials and jams. Only non-hybrid roses can be used, as only they have specific smell / aroma. Red roses give beautiful refreshing drink, while white roses are mostly used for jams.
Ingredients: (for 1L of cordial)
6 large red roses (petals only), quickly washed in cold water
1 1/2 tsp citric acid granules (from your supermarket)
a 500 ml jar with lid
water
1 1/4 cup sugar + 1 cup water (for syrup)
Method:
Place rose petals into a jar, sprinkle citric acid on top and pour water to the top. Close the lid, shake jar well until citric acid solved. Place jar into sunny spot for at least 48 hours.
After 2 days, strain water with rose petals into a bottle. Boil sugar with 1 cup water and let it cool slightly. Pour it in bottle with rose water and shake well. Keep refrigerated. Use as cordial.
Note: If you boil strained petals with 1/2 cup sugar (6-8 minutes in microwave), you'll get rose jam!
Sirup od Ružinih Latica
Kao sto znate, ruzine latice se mogu koristiti u prehrani. U nasim krajevima (a i sire) se koriste za pravljenje sirupa i dzema. Samo ne-hibridne ruze mozete koristiti, jer imaju specificnu aromu, za razliku od hibridnih, koje gotovo da nemaju nikakav miris. Crvene ruze se uglavnom koriste za pripremanje sirupa, dok se bijele ruze upotrebljavaju za pravljenje dzemova.
Potrebno: (za 1 L sirupa)
6 velikih crvenih ruza, latice saprane u hladnoj vodi
1,5 k limunske (citricne) kiseline - granule
1/2 L zapremine tegla / galon sa poklopcem
voda
1 1/4 solje secera + 1 solja vode - za sirup
Nacin:
Smjestite latice ruza u teglu, pospite sa limunskom kiselinom i zalijte vodom. Zavrnite poklopac, dobro izmuckajte sadrzinu i ostavite na suncanu poziciju najmanje 48 sati.
Nakon 2 dana, procijedite sadrzaj u flasu od 1 l. Prokuhajte secer sa 1 soljom vode, malo prohladite. Naspite u flasu sa ruzinom vodom i dobro promijesajte. Smjestite u frizider; koristite kao sirup za osvjezavajuci napitak.
Napomena: Ako preostale latice ruze prokuhate sa 1/2 solje secera (u mikrovalnoj 6-8 minuta), dobicete dzem od ruza!

Tomatoes
Tomatoes are full of vitamin C, which is powerfully anti-viral and crucial for good functioning of the imune system. They're packed with lycopene (type of carotenoid) that helps prevent the cancer, particularly prostate cancer. Beta-carotene in tomatoes is necessary for production of vitamin A, that helps to mantain healthy thymus gland, which plays vital role in immune response. Vitamin E in tomatoes helps to protect body from toxins.
Cooking tomatoes releases the lycopene, making it more available to the body.
Properties:
-Anti-cancer

Bogati su likopenom, (vrsta karotenoida) koji pomaze prevenciju raka, posebno raka prostate. Beta-karoten u paradajzu je neophodan za proizvodnju vitamina A, koji pomaze odrzavanju zdravog timusa (zlijezda iza grudne kosti), koji igra vitalnu ulogu u aktivnom imunom sistemu. Vitamin E u paradajzima pomaze zastititi organizam od otrova.
Kuhanje pradajza oslobadja likopen, koji onda lakse apsorbovan od strane tijela.

Štrudla sa šampinjonima
Srecan Djurdjevdan / Jurjevo (kod mene je vec ponedjeljak)!
Najljepse memorije nosim vezan za ovaj dan koji je slavljen kod svih etnickih grupa u mom kraju. Sacuva se crveno jaje (od bilo kojeg Uskrsa), porani se ujutro rano i otidje u berbu mirisnih trava i sarenih cvjetova proljeca; sve se potopi u izvorsku vodu (jaje i biljke) i tom vodom se djevojke umivaju. Vjerovalo se da ce biti zdrave, jedre, mirisne i rumene kao sastojci u vodi.
Sastojci:
Tijesto-
2 solje prosijanog brasna
200 ml (+) vode
1/2 k soli
Mjesavina topljenog maslaca i ulja za premazivanje tijesta
Fil-
650-700 g sampinjona, rezanih
1 K ulja
2 K pavlake
1-2 K mrvica kruha / hljeba
so i biber prema ukusu
bijeli luk u prahu (po zelji)
Nacin:
Mozete pogledati na link za detalje: Kako da razvucete tijesto
Za fil, pomijesajte sve sastojke. Nanesite na 1/2 razvucenog tijesta, pospite sa malo ulja, zatim zarolajte (zavrcuci krajeve). Premazite uljem i pecite 35-40 min na 180*C.
Divna je!
