This is video was first posted back in 2022, but brought back because it’s one of those timeless stories that deserves another look.

Every summer, Tamara’s parents grow an incredible number of tomato plants, and we enjoy them fresh in salads and meals all season long.

Thanks for reading Coffee and Rakija! This post is public so feel free to share it.

This video takes you along for the experiment, from drying in the summer sun to layering the jars with spices and olive oil.

It’s a slice of life from Bosnia that’s just as relevant, and delicious, today as it was then.
