Delicious facts
– In Russia, cranberries were called “northern lemon” for their high content of vitamin C, citric and quinic acids.
– You can diversify the cranberry compote by adding citrus fruits. To do this, add half an orange, 1 tangerine zest, a few lemon peels and vanilla sugar for 1 cup of cranberries to the compote.
– Often cranberry compote is boiled with the addition of apple, strawberry and other berries to dilute the sourness of cranberries with sweet berries and fruits.
– You can make frozen cranberry compote. It is important to freeze cranberries, previously washed and dried, since the preparation of compote from frozen berries eliminates their defrosting and washing.
– In order to better preserve vitamin C when cooking compote, cranberries must be added to already boiling water and, after the compote has boiled, immediately removed from heat. The compote must be allowed to brew so that the berries completely give off the juice.
– Cranberry compote can be closed for the winter.
– Cranberry compote can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 days in a sealed container.
– The calorie content of cranberry compote is 26 kcal / 100 grams.
– The cost of cranberries for the 2020 season is 300 rubles / 1 kilogram (for July 2020). Since cranberries are not often sold in stores and markets, frozen berries can be used to cook compote.
– With care, you can collect cranberries yourself: they grow in forests, in swampy places. Cranberries can be found in almost any Russian forest, with the exception of the Kuban, the Caucasus and the south of the Volga region. The cranberry season is from September to October, but you can pick the berry in winter too: under the influence of frost, the berry becomes sweeter.
