Summer in Latvia brings an abundance of berries, fruit and vegetables. Anyone who has lived in Latvia for a while, especially if they had a kitchen garden or a country property, will know that even a few berry bushes, be it black currants, red currants or gooseberries, will produce more fruit than one can possibly eat. That’s where the national summer pastime of juicing, freezing, blending, simmering, pickling and canning comes into play.
