To begin with, let's discuss the simplest recipes that allow you to prepare cherry compote for the winter, for future use. First of all, it is necessary to thoroughly rinse the berries and separate the stalk from each - this is how we will achieve greater preservation of the juiciness of the cherry during the cooking and preservation process. You should decide in advance: will you cook berries with or without seeds. Compote fromcherries with a stone can be stored for no more than a year, after this time hydrocyanic acid will begin to be released, which will make the drink unfit for consumption. So, if you plan on keeping it longer, the pits need to be removed!
Don't forget to prepare jars in advance, which we will fill with our summer drink. They should be sterilized for the required amount of time in any convenient way: by steaming, in the oven or in the microwave - as you like. The sterilization time of jars depends on their volume: from 10-15 minutes for half-liter jars, up to 30 minutes for 3-liter jars. Now that everything is ready, choose the recipe for cherry compote.
Recipe one - quick
To prepare a drink according to this recipe, you will need half a kilogram of cherries, about 300 grams of granulated sugar and about three liters of water. First, sugar syrup should be prepared from the indicated amount of sugar and water. Pour the prepared cherries into the finished syrup, bring to a boil and cook for no more than five minutes. That's all, compote is ready! Pour into jars and roll up. For a brighter taste, you can add a little lemon juice to the compote.
Recipe two - vitamin
The recipe for cherry compote with more vitamins retained implies less heat treatment of berries, but longer cooking time. The composition and quantity of products are the same as in the previous recipe. Cherries should be put in jars, pour boiling water, close the jars with lids and leave for 15 minutes. After that, drain the water fromcans, pour prepared sugar into it and boil. With sweet water prepared in this way, pour the cherry again and roll up the jars with the now ready compote. Banks with a drink prepared in this way are wrapped in a blanket to stretch the cooling process, allowing the berries to warm up properly.
Recipe three - from the freezer
We looked at how to prepare compote for the winter. Now we will discuss the recipe for cherry compote for the table - we will cook it from cherries frozen since the summer. Berries do not require prior defrosting. We lower the required number of berries into a pot of boiling water. For a sharp taste, you can add a little citric acid (half a teaspoon to a large, three-liter, pot of water). Boil the cherries for about 15 minutes. After this time, add sugar. The amount must be determined by taste - to get a sweet drink, about 200 grams per liter of water. After the compote boils again, turn off the fire and give it some time to "reach". After some time, you will see a wonderful tastier drink of wonderful rich cherry color, which has a wonderful sweet and sour taste. Compote can be poured into glasses and served at the table.
