🇺🇦 Ukraine recipe
Uzvar
Uzvar is a traditional Ukrainian compote made by gently simmering a medley of dried fruits in water sweetened with honey and spiced with warm aromatics. Unlike modern compotes that are served hot, uzvar is always chilled, making it a refreshing yet deeply flavored drink. It holds a special place on the Ukrainian Christmas Eve table as one of the twelve ritual dishes, symbolizing the eternal cycle of life through the rebirth of dried fruits in water.
