How to cook grape compote
Peel the grapes from twigs, spoiled berries, wash and let the water drain. Arrange the grapes in the jars with the expectation that the berries should occupy about half the volume of the jar. Pour water into a saucepan and put on fire. Pour sugar into heated water and stir it. Boil the syrup and cook for 10 minutes. Pour the ready-made syrup over jars of grapes, cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Then drain the syrup, boil again and pour over the grapes again. Twist the jars with the compote, turn it upside down and wait until the compote has cooled completely. Then put the compote for storage.
