The most usual types of slatko are those made of whole strawberries, slightly unripe skinned plums or sour cherries.
Other fresh fruits like raspberries, sweet cherries, watermelon cubes, rose petals, quinces, grapes, figs, skinned apricot halves or quarters, peaches, blueberries, blackberries or redcurrants can also be used.
If a plum slatko is prepared, walnut halves or almonds may be added to the mixture or even inserted into the plums themselves to replace the pits.
Some fruits and vegetables (like rhubarb and physalis) rarely grown in Serbia have also been demonstrated to be well suited for slatko.
Frozen berries and fruits may be used as well, but the amount of water and the cooking time should be adjusted accordingly.
