For a three-liter jar:
- apples – 5 pieces;
- pears – 5 pieces;
- water – 3 l;
- sugar – 250 g;
- cinnamon – 1 tsp.
Preparation
- The quantity of products is indicated in the list for a three-liter jar. For compote, it is better to take slightly tart, firm, and small apples. The same should be true for pears (do not take overly ripe, juicy, and soft fruits). Garden apples and pears will work perfectly.
- Wash the fruits, dry them off, and cut them in half. If the fruits are large, you can cut them into quarters, as long as these pieces fit easily into the jar.
- Place the apples and pears into sterilized jars and pour boiling water until the shoulders of the jars. Some water may remain, but do not drain it immediately. The fruits will absorb a significant amount of water, so you will need to add more during the compote preparation process. Cover with clean lids on top. Leave for 20 minutes.
- After the specified time, drain the water into a pot and boil it again to "kill" the microbes and other impurities that have come out of the fruits and could spoil the preservation if not neutralized in time. Sprinkle the fruits in the jar with sugar and cinnamon.
- Pour over the broth. Do not be afraid that the sugar will not dissolve. It will dissolve and soak into the fruits during the sterilization process. Seal with lids and turn the jars upside down, covering them with a thick material that will keep the heat in the jars for as long as possible. In this way, we will conduct double natural sterilization. After the compote has fully cooled, send the jars to a cool place for storage until the desire arises to enjoy the pleasant taste of the drink.
