3 A feast of flavour Preface Spoon sweets and jams are closely related to the culture, customs and traditions of our country, like the other Cypriot traditional products, and they form an integral part of our cultural heritage. This is why we have to preserve knowledge of how they are made and transmit it to future generations. Preserving fruits and vegetables in sugar in the form of spoon sweets and jams is a very tasty way tomake good use of them, mainly when surplus fruits and vegetables are used or when they are available at a low price. Though nowadays making spoon sweets and jams has become rarer and rarer, many rural families pursue this tradition with passion and enthusiasm and they are engaged with making these products.
