Pour sugar into the prepared container, put the berries (on 1/2 jar) and fill half with boiling water. For taste and aroma, you can add 2-3 pieces of green apple to each jar. While the second portion of boiling water is boiling, the berries will already give the first juice. Housewives say that grape compotes prepared in this way will always be brighter than those that were poured at once.

If you assume that the compote will be drunk within 6 months after preparation, then you can not remove the seeds from the plums either. If longer storage is planned, then we remove both the seeds from the plum and the branches from the grapes.

Add sugar to the berry, put a couple of fragrant mint sprigs. Fill with boiling water, roll up with a metal lid,turn over and leave to cool. So that the grape compote prepared for the winter does not lose its color, it is recommended to store it in a cool and dark place.
