What could be better than opening a jar of compote in winter, enjoying the aroma of fresh strawberries and remembering the warm summer? Fragrant strawberry compote with mint and currant syrup is a wonderful drink for a festive table.
It is necessary
- - Strawberries - 2.5 cups,
- - sugar - 1 glass,

Step 1
The layout described below is for a 3 liter can. Peel the strawberries, rinse well under running water several times. Let it drain. Pour the berries into prepared clean, dry jars. The amount of strawberries can be slightly increased depending on their size - the main thing is that the jar is about a third full. Add mint leaves.

After that, you need to prepare the syrup: stir the sugar with water and cook over low heat until completely dissolved. Pour in currant juice.
Step 3
Pour strawberries in jars with the resulting boiling syrup, immediately roll up hermetically with lids (previously boiled in water). Carefully turn the jars upside down and cover with a blanket for a day. Store the finished compote in a cool place.
Step 4
Try to take ripe strawberries with dense pulp. From such berries, the compote will turn out richer and more aromatic.
