It not only quenches thirst but also enriches the body with vitamins, and its preparation won't take much time. Savor the taste of tradition!

Begin by thoroughly rinsing all the dried fruits in several changes of water, then drain them in a colander. To ensure maximum removal of impurities and preservatives, pour boiling water over the dried fruits and let them sit for one to two minutes.

Place the prepared dried fruits on a kitchen towel or paper napkins to absorb excess moisture. Meanwhile, boil 2 liters of drinking water and pour it into an enamel pot, then place the pot over medium heat.

Carefully add the dried fruit to the boiling water, stir, and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Afterward, turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid.

Allow the pot of compote to cool slowly to room temperature. For a richer flavor, we recommend wrapping the pot in a blanket or throw to ensure the cooling process is as slow as possible.

Once the compote is ready, add honey and citric acid to taste, then stir thoroughly. The drink is now ready to serve! You can pour it into glasses with or without the dried fruit, as you prefer.

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.

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.
