Sauerkirsch harvest in Gamig: fresh, tasty and organic!

Gamig, Deutschland - Finally again harvesting time in the region! After the sour cherry trees suffered harvest failures last year due to unfavorable weather conditions, the trees present themselves in Gamig, Pesterwitz and Kreischa this year. This is also confirmed by Stefan Erbrecht, the Head of Agriculture at Gut Gamig. The small but high -quality fruits invite you to all kinds of delicacies - from jam to juice to delicious cakes. A pleasure that is not only suitable for snacking! sächsische.de reports that Gut Gamig grows six different types of sour cherries that differ in acidity and ripening. Particularly noteworthy is the Jade variety that comes up with its lower acidity and tastes less acidic.

This year Gut Gamig offers a special innovation: In order to accommodate younger people and families, the plantation will be opened for the first time on a weekend. From July 14th to 25th, this will be accessible from Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and on July 19 and 20 in July from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. During this time, the rehabilitation students from Gut Gamig take over the cash register and the supervision and ensure that everything goes smoothly.

easy -care candy with character

But what does the sour cherry, known botanically as prunus cerasus , so special? These fruit trees are not only robust, but also undemanding in cultivation. You can reach up to 12 meters and deliver blood -red, aromatic fruits that bloom from April to May. Your fruity taste - a combination of sweet and tart - inspires generations and is the reason why you have a permanent place in many gardens. Planteninfothek.de explains that you prefer a warm, sunny location and permeable, nutritious soil.

The cherries are not only suitable for fresh consumption, but are also used in numerous culinary creations. From jams to cakes to sweet must - the uses are almost unlimited. Sylvia Keil, the head of the café on Gut Gamig, has already inspired the first sour cherry cake of the season from the freshly picked fruits. The recipe goes as follows: 100g butter, 100g of sugar, two packets of vanilla sugar, three eggs, 200g flour, 5G baking powder and 60ml milk - the basis for the delicious dough, on the 600g sour cherries and sprinkles. kob-bavendorf.de also lists that the fruits are not only convincing, but also healthy-they contain high content of organic acids and vitamins.

from the picking time to the Kirschenmarkt

The picking times are an important point for everyone interested. Gamig opens from July 14th to 25th, while the fruit farm Pietzsch & Winkler is open daily from 8.30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. from July 17 to August 1st. Gut Pesterwitz has not yet announced a precise date, but remains exciting for cherry lovers. Interest in self -picking has decreased in recent years, but the opening at the weekend shows that you also want to address new target groups.

The culinary offer is expanded by the juicy sour cherry juice, which can be purchased directly in the farm shop. A pleasure for everyone looking for fruity change!
