<sod>'''Slatko''' ({{lang-sr|слаткō, {{lang-bg|сладко}}}}, meaning "sweet") is a thin [[fruit preserve]] made of fruit or rose petals in [[Serbian cuisine|Serbian]] and [[Bulgarian cuisine]]. Almost any kind of fruit can be used, like [[Fragaria|wild strawberry]], [[blueberry]], [[plum]] and [[cherry]]. Traditionally, all guests in a Serbian home are greeted with a spoonful of ''slatko'' and a cup of water as soon as seated. Particularly honoured guests are offered twice, although any guest can ask for another taste, to honour the housekeeper. For the second taste another spoon must be used. To ask for the third time, if not offered, is regarded as an improper behaviour, although usually granted. Alternatively, in the same manner, the guests may be offered [[honey]] (or asked to choose). The tradition of slatko is common and widespread only in the [[Central Serbia|historical Serbia]], south of [[Sava (river)|Sava]] and [[Danube]] and was unknown in [[Vojvodina]].<eod>
