Discover the magic taste of cornelian cherry compote for the winter! This drink, rich in vitamin C, will become your reliable ally in the fight against colds and strengthen your immune system. Prepared by the double-pouring method, it will preserve all the beneficial properties of the berries and give you unforgettable pleasure on cold winter days. Allow yourself to enjoy the bright taste of summer in every jar!


Start by preparing the berries: carefully sort through the dogwood, removing anything unnecessary – twigs, debris, and spoiled fruits. Then rinse the berries under cool running water and gently dry them on a kitchen towel to get rid of excess moisture.


Prepare the jars for the compote: wash them thoroughly with soap or baking soda, and then sterilize them in any convenient way – in the microwave or over steam. Cleanliness is the key to successful preservation!


Fill sterilized jars with dogwood berries, distributing them approximately equally. Boil filtered water and carefully pour it over the berries in the jars, then cover with lids. Let it steep for 20 minutes to allow the berries to release their aroma and flavor.


Using a lid with holes, carefully drain the water from the jars back into the saucepan. Add sugar and bring to a boil. Cook the syrup for 5–7 minutes, until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a sweet base for your compote.


Add 35 ml of lemon juice to each jar of dogwood. Carefully pour the prepared syrup into the jars so that it reaches the "shoulders", and immediately seal with sterilized lids to preserve the precious aroma and taste.


Turn the jars upside down, wrap them thoroughly in a blanket or quilt, and leave them in this position until they cool completely. Then transfer the compote to a dark, cool place for storage, where it can delight you with its taste throughout the winter.

Be sure to prepare this plum compote for winter without seeds. The recipe is simple, so even an inexperienced cook can cope with it. The preparation is two in one: the liquid quenches thirst well, and the fruit can be enjoyed for dessert. Choose slightly underripe plums with thick skin. The seeds need to be removed. It is enough to simply cut the plum in half and carefully remove it. Thanks to this procedure, we will increase the shelf life of the compote. So make more at once! The recipe provides ingredients at the rate of one three-liter jar. And then increase the proportions as many times as necessary.

Compote of apricots and plums has a very harmonious flavor with a pleasant light acidity. There are few fruits in the jar, so the syrup turns out not too dense. Whether to drink it in its pure form? It's up to you! We think that to get a light refreshing drink, it is better to dilute the syrup with drinking or even carbonated water in the proportion of 1:1. Apricots and plums from the compote, however, can be served for dessert, which is many times better than fatty cakes, cakes or candies. By the way, the "compote" fruits make a delicious cocktail: just peel them from the skin and pips, and then beat the pulp with one or another fermented milk drink.

Compote from cornel for the winter - a truly magical drink. It has a lot of vitamin C, which will help you fight colds and strengthen the body. There are two main ways of preparing compote: in one we will have to sterilize the jars together with the liquid, and in the second we will use the method of double pouring. We want to offer you the second, in our opinion a simpler option. Berries are poured with boiling water, then this broth is drained and boiled again. Then pour a second time and close the jars. For the preparation, choose whole, but not overripe fruits. Too soft will burst from the action of boiling water. We will cook the compote with pips: it is healthier, and to separate it from the pulp is extremely difficult. If desired, you can add other fruits and berries to dogwood. This will only make the flavor of the drink better.

Sea buckthorn compote for winter is prepared by the "double pouring" method and does not need additional pasteurization. This is when you first pour boiling water over the berries, let them stand for a little while, and then make syrup for the compote from the same infusion. The amount of sugar can be adjusted to your taste, but still do not completely eliminate sugar, you will get just sour water.

Dried fruit compote is the joy of a Saturday lunch. Children always wait for something sweet. And adults, if they are true adults, always remain a bit childlike. After a heavy and plentiful meal, with pâté and salads, one only wants to drink hot tea or warm compote. Fruits for it are gathered in season, sorted, pitted, and dried for the winter. All this is so that in the middle of cold January, in the height of frost, we have on our table a wonderful compote—a memory of summer. It not only enriches our body with useful vitamins but is also extremely tasty and invariably helps to digest everything you've prepared for your beloved family.

A delicious and refreshing quince and apple compote is very easy to make. It doesn't take much time. The main thing is to ensure that the peeled fruits do not darken. To do this, we recommend placing them in salted water. For the compote, choose quinces of a rich yellow color, as well as sweet and sour apples. It's convenient to store the compote in a one-liter or two-liter jar. It won't last long in the fridge – just open and drink it right away. However, if you're preparing for a large group, it's worth making a larger volume. For example, you can use a 3-liter jar. You will need to increase the quantity of ingredients accordingly by 3 times. In a dark and cool place, the compote can be stored for at least a year, so we advise making a larger batch.
