In the summer heat, compote is good for quenching thirst. In bad winter weather, it reminds of fine sunny days and helps to fight vitamin deficiency. This delicacy instills in kids a love for natural fruits and berries. Unlike store-bought carbonated drinks and factory juices, homemade compote is not only tasty, but also very healthy.
It is necessary
-
- berries
- water
- granulated sugar
- pan
- glass jars
- cover
- seamer
- a warm blanket.
Instructions
Step 1
Sort out the berries, free them from the stalks. Discard the spoiled fruits, put the rest in a colander and rinse thoroughly under running cold water. Place a colander in a saucepan to drain off the water. You can also sprinkle the berries on a clean towel that has been laid out on the table.
Step 2
Pour water into a clean saucepan, put it on fire and bring to a boil. As soon as the water boils, gently transfer the berries to a saucepan. Add sugar to taste, stir gently. Try the compote. It should be a little sweeter than you like. The fact is that after a while the berries will give up their acid to the liquid, and the taste of the compote will become just the way it should be.
Step 3
Wait for the compote to boil and remove the pan from the heat so that the berries in the compote do not lose their shape. Compote can be drunk immediately by pouring into glasses and pre-cooled. Or you can cover the pan with a lid and wait until the berries give it all their taste. When the pan becomes warm to the touch, the compote will reveal its full flavor.
Step 4
Compote can also be cooked based on sugar syrup. To do this, pour sugar into a saucepan with boiled water and wait until it completely dissolves. Add berries to the resulting syrup, bring it to a boil again and remove the pan from heat.
