To prepare a delicious compote for the winter, use a different combination of berries and fruits. For example, take cherries, black currants and get a great combination in compote.
Cherries and black currants are an excellent combination for compote - the sour-sweet taste should be to the taste of many. Preparing such a compote for the winter will not be difficult. You will need berries, jars, water, and sugar. Banks do not need to be sterilized separately, which greatly simplifies the process. Therefore, such a blank is quite popular. Well, are you ready?

Step by step preparation of cherry and black currant compote
The first step, of course, is to prepare the cans for conservation. Take containers with a volume that is convenient for you - from 1 to 3 liters. For me, the most convenient volume is 1.5 liters. Rinse the jars with baking soda and rinse thoroughly. Sort out the black currant berries from the debris - twigs, leaves may come across them. Remove the stalks from the cherries. Rinse everything under running water.
Place currants and cherries in each jar.
Pour boiling water over the berries to the very top.
Let the jars sit for 15-20 minutes. During this time, they will cool down to an acceptable temperature, when they can be taken without fear of getting burned. In addition, this filling sterilizes both berries and jars, which saves you time (there is no need to sterilize the jars separately).
We drain the water from the cans into the pan using a special lid with holes. Add sugar to the drained compote to taste. It is difficult to say how much sugar is needed. After all, it all depends on your taste preferences and the sweetness of the berries themselves. So just taste the compote. Bring the drained liquid to a boil, refill the jars and immediately close them with sterilized lids. In order not to boil the lids, wipe them with alcohol (just wash them thoroughly before that).
Chill the finished compote completely. It is not necessary to wrap up.
With such wealth, no winter is terrible.
