Recipes for dogwood compote for the winter: triple pouring

Preserving this drink may seem to some like spinning cucumbers without sterilizing them. For each three-liter glass bottle we take: a couple of glasses of dogwood, a glass of granulated sugar, water. If there are several bottles, then the number of components is increased in proportion to the number of cans.

Cooking is easy

1. Cornwood compote for the winter without sterilization is very easy to prepare - even a novice cook can handle it. We sort the berries, removing the twigs with stalks, rinse and let drain, throwing them into a colander.
2. While the dogwood is draining, we sterilize the jars in the most usual way (you can also use the microwave, by the way), and boil the lids for spins.
3. Pour berries into bottles. Fill them with boiling water, cover with lids and leave for twenty minutes,to insist. Drain the tincture back into the container (without berries) and boil again.
4. Pour the dogwood for the 2nd time and let it brew again, but for fifteen minutes already.
5. And pour granulated sugar into jars.
6. For the third time, pour boiling infusion of berries in three-liter bottles. And already roll up the prepared lids. We turn over on a towel and wrap a warm blanket so that they cool down gradually. Then we remove the dogwood compote for storage for the winter.

Compote filled with syrup

This drink differs from the previous one in that granulated sugar is not poured into jars, but sugar syrup is prepared. Needless to say, this version is quite sweet. Well, for those who still prefer not such a sugary drink, it is recommended to dilute it with water before drinking.

Ingredients and preparation

How to close dogwood compote for the winter with syrup? For five cans of three liters, you need to take a couple of kilos of dogwood berries, three kilos of sugar, water.

1. We choose the most ripe berries, but not yet overripe, because they can burst during cooking and spoil the appearance of the final product, giving a cloudy color, and we strive for beauty, don't we?
2. Pour the berries with cold water to “acidify” for half an hour. After that, we wash them in a colander in running water and let them drain.
3. We lay out the product in containers, filling the cans to about one-fourth of the volume. One will take aboutfour hundred grams of dogwood.
4. Pour water into a large container (for five jars) and bring it to a boil. Gradually pour boiling water over dogwood in jars and let stand for a quarter of an hour.
5. Pour the infusion without berries back into the pot (this is best done using a special plastic lid with holes).
6. Add sugar to the infusion (about three glasses will go to one three-liter bottle), cook the syrup. It is necessary to gradually boil the liquid over low heat until all the sugar has dissolved.
7. Pour the dogwood with hot syrup again, without adding a couple of centimeters to the top of each jar.
8. Roll up, cover warm and leave to cool.

Sterilized drink

It will take extra time to close dogwood compote for the winter using sterilization. But this option is well suited if there is no basement to store conservation. And a sterilized drink keeps perfectly in the kitchen cabinet without any problems until the spring (unless, of course, it is drunk earlier). To do this, you need to lay gauze on the bottom of the basin or bucket - several layers. Above - a three-liter bottle with compote. Pour warm water into the basin up to 2/3 of the height of the jar. And sterilize for 10-15 minutes. Then roll up.
