A simple recipe for making plum compote for the winter in halves without sterilization
For compote, choose ripe, but not very soft fruits. Wash them thoroughly, cut them in half and remove the bones.
In sterilized jars (I have liter ones) we put the halves of the plums, filling the container by about a third.
Fill the jars with plums with boiling water up to the top, cover with lids and let stand for 15 minutes, until the water cools down enough that the jar can be freely taken by hand.
Then pour the water from the drain, which has become pale pink, into the pan. Pour sugar there and cook something like a sweet syrup, which we pour over the plums a second time. For aroma, you can throw an star anise star into the pan - it will give the compote a delicate spicy note. After the water with sugar has boiled for 5-10 minutes, the star anise should be removed.
Fill the jars with fruit halves with sweet plum water, roll up and wrap them up.
Leave the plum compote to cool slowly under the covers. By the way, during this time the red pigment will be released as much as possible from the plums and the compote will become a rich pink color, which is very pleasant to the eye.
That's all! A wonderful compote from plums for the winter in halves without sterilization is ready. I wonder if at least one can of such goodies will live up to the New Year?
