How to cook cherry compote for the winter

For a cherry compote for twisting, you need a good ripe cherry - berries from pale red to bright burgundy color, which are considered a little overripe, are suitable.

We sort through the cherries, wash only under cold water, after boiling water, part of the juice may be lost. Separate the branches, lay out in a flat plate, dry. We do not take out the bones, they will give a taste of almonds.

We sterilize three-liter jar traditional way, above the ferry. Together with the jar - a lid. You can hold the dishes in a wide saucepan on the stove, turning the neck down - from 3 to 7 minutes, boil the lid there for a couple of minutes. It is very important not to miss this moment, because the compote will not be sterilized.

We put cherries in a prepared 3-liter jar, but in a special way(this little secret will allow you to get a beautiful ruby ​​\u200b\u200bcolor even from a small amount of berries): we prick each cherry wooden skewer. It is not at all difficult to take “by the side” and shift.

When all the berries are laid, they occupy the bottom and a row a little higher, cover the jar with a lid and leave it for a while - boil the syrup.

The syrup will require water, sugar, lemon, and you can add some thyme if you like a subtle hint of herbal seasoning. The amount of water will need a little less than 3 liters. Sugar can also be adjusted to taste: the less, the more acidic the compote.

Bring the water in a saucepan to a boil, add sugar, put the lemon and thyme, stir until the sand is completely dissolved - the syrup is ready. It must be poured immediately, very carefully so that the jar does not crack, preferably with a ladle.

Pour the syrup to the top, with a small margin, twist the lid. Using only once boiling water, we will save all the useful things that the cherry will give. We wait until the spin cools down a little, turn it over on the lid, shake it a couple of times. Be sure to cover with a woolen blanket, the warmth of which will replace sterilization with boiling water.

A couple of hours later still warm cherry compote gives an amazing ruby ​​color. But the blanket can be removed after the jar has completely cooled - this is 8-12 hours, then the color will be as bright as possible.

Let's leave our preparation until the winter, so that later we can get a "hello" from the summer!

It's berry season here. Strawberries, raspberries, currants, cherries!

We ate strawberries fresh, the children ran to the garden and tore themselves. They even froze it for the winter.

The cherry is ripe now. You can’t eat a lot of it fresh, so I decided to cook something out of it. Well, first of all, our family loves . And secondly, in the heat you want to drink a lot, and not just some water, but something tasty. So I decided to cook.

Compote of cherries and other berries

It would seem that there is nothing easier. But I remembered myself at the beginning family life, even such a task how to cook compote, gave me trouble. Therefore, especially for those who do not know how to cook compote, I decided to talk about it in detail.

How to cook compote?

For compote we need berries, water and sugar. Basically, everything.

I cook compote in the following proportions:

I pour berries into the pan by 1/4 or 1/3 (if there are a lot of berries), pour water to the top of the pan. When it boils, add sugar to taste.

Well, something like this:

500 g cherries per three-liter pan and 1 incomplete glass of sugar.

Of course, it always turns out differently. How much we add sugar to the compote depends on the type and number of berries.

I'll tell you step by step How do I make compote?

1. Prepare the berries.

I had cherries and some raspberries. I also decided to trim some apples so that there was enough for a five-liter pan.

You can use the berries you have: cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants. You can add apricots, apples. In general, it all depends on your imagination.

You can also use frozen berries, then delicious and flavored drink will delight you not only in summer, but also in winter!

But now we have a fresh cherry just from the tree, so we wash it well in running water.

2. Wash and cut apples.

3. Put the prepared cherries and apples in a saucepan.

4. Pour water to the top of the pan.

5. Put on a strong fire, cover with a lid, bring to a boil.

Then add sugar, stir and taste. If everything suits, we keep it on low heat for another 5 minutes, turn it off, cover and insist.

I cook compote from cherries (generally compote from berries) in the evening and insist until morning, that is, I just leave it on the stove until morning.

This is how our finished compote looks like:

You can drink with the addition of ice cubes.

Or bottle and refrigerate.

We do not throw away half-liter bottles from mineral water, but pour our compote into it.

You can boil a 10 liter pot, bottle it and IN THE FREEZER! It is convenient to do this in the summer, when it is very hot, and you often want to drink a lot. We immediately prepare a lot of compote and, as necessary, namely, as the compote is drunk, take out a bottle in advance, thaw in the refrigerator and drink chilled.

I hope now you will not have any difficulties and it has become clear how to cook or other berries.

Making cherry compote for the winter is a very simple task, which requires only a few ingredients. The main ones are: water, granulated sugar and cherries. Some prefer to include citric acid and various spices - depends on the taste and imagination individually. But do not get carried away too much, as you can kill the main taste of the berries.

The main convenience in harvesting is the cheapness of the main component. If a can of lingonberry or can cost a pretty penny, then cherry can be made from fruits growing in a summer cottage.

So, for the conservation of cherries, first of all we prepare three-liter jars (they are the most convenient) and metal lids. You can not do this procedure without a seaming key. In order to maintain the proportions given by the recipe, we need scales.

Having prepared all the main components of the preservation process, we proceed to the sterilization of dishes. The lids must be thoroughly boiled, and the jars must be heated over steam or rinsed thoroughly with boiling water. These steps must be completed in advance, because then you will need to act quickly, and there will simply be no time for extraneous processes.

Cherry compote recipe for the winter

To prepare this wonderful house drink we need the following ingredients: sugar (100 g per liter will be needed), water and cherries. The jar is filled with fruits by 1/3, after sorting them out and rinsing them under running water. It is recommended to filter the water for the syrup.

We put cherries in sterilized jars, and pour boiling water on top (it is worth leaving room for sugar, 1/5 of the jar). We leave the blanks in this state for 15 minutes. During this time, the cherries will give their taste and aroma to the water, and also warm up. After that, drain all the liquid from the jar into the prepared pan. And already there we pour granulated sugar into it. If the cherry is sour enough, you can increase the amount of sugar.

On the stove, bring the future compote to a boil. This requires regular stirring. As soon as the compote boils, pour it back into the jars. They should be filled to the very edges of the neck. We roll up the lids with a key. You can also use screw caps that are simply twisted by hand. In both cases glass container should be turned upside down, put on a floor insulated with a cloth and covered with a warm blanket. We leave it in this position for the night, after which we wipe it with a damp cloth and send it for storage in a cellar, basement or other cool room.

Cherry compote for the winter with strawberries and currants

We sort and wash all the berries. Pour cherries into jars, then strawberries. We lay currants on top, which can not be removed from the branches.

Next, pour sugar into jars. Then pour all the ingredients with boiling water for 2/3 of the container. We take a spoon and carefully mix all the contents with it until we achieve complete dissolution of granulated sugar. After that, fill the jars with boiling water to the very brim. We roll up the lids and traditionally turn the jars upside down, as in the first recipe. This is followed by the same steps as above.

Cherry compote is quite concentrated, so it is recommended to dilute it before use. a small amount water.
