If you have a refrigerator at home with a large freezer, use the fruit and berries for future use - freeze them. In the winter, you will have environmentally friendly products from your own summer house, which you can thaw, eat, only slightly sprinkled with sugar, even without heat treatment. Use homemade frosts for pies and compotes. When defrosted, some berries retain their shape and taste perfectly, such as gooseberries and black currants. They can decorate the cake.
