But during sterilization, the time required for heat treatment is not so much as, for example, when harvesting cherries. But back to the recipes:

1. Compote of common dogwood. Berries (1.5 kg) sort, wash, pour into jars. Fill about a quarter or a little higher. Covering the neck with your hand, turn the containers over to drain the water that has fallen with the berries. Then fill the products with very hot syrup. To make dogwood compote, the syrup is prepared as follows: boil 2 liters of water, add 1.2 kg of sugar (remember the “sugar / berries” ratio!), Boil for 5 minutes. Remove foam. Filled "shoulder" banks cover with sterile lids and put on sterilization. Time: half-liter containers - 8-10 minutes, liter - 12-15 minutes, 3 liters - half an hour. Then the lids are rolled up, the jars are turned over, covered and left to cool for a day. After that, they can be put in the cellar or pantry. If all the steps are followed, then the dogwood compote, the recipe of which we have just reviewed, can be stored for a long time, for 2 years, and not lose its beneficial qualities and taste properties.

We invite you to consider the option of how to cook compote from dogwood, sea buckthorn and apples.

And the consumption of products is as follows: for every kilogram of sea buckthorn there are the same number of apples and 600 g of dogwood. The berries are washed, they need to be allowed to drain. Peel apples from seeds, cut into small slices, dip in boiling water for 2-3 minutes - for blanching. Then all the components are placed in jars. We prepare syrup: for every 2 liters of water, the same amount of sugar goes. It should be boiled for 10 minutes, then poured into jars - up to the “neck” of the neck. Cover with lids and sterilize: half-liter containers - 12-15 minutes, liter - 25 minutes, 3-liter - 35-40 minutes. Then roll up, let cool, put in place.
