Spoon sweet, the story

The spoon sweet dates back to ancient times when people had to find a solution for the fruit had leftover, and somehow they had to preserve it. Crops goods had not to be thrown away. As a result, they started to use syrup to preserve the goods. The housewives boiled the fruit and turned it into sweets and jams.

Of course, the term "spoon sweet" came from the way these sweets are served, as they are served on a small plate with a teaspoon, with which the visitor eats the sweet.
