Delicious facts
– For compote, you can take black and red currants. Red currant is a more acidic berry, so the sugar rate should be increased to 1 kilogram.
– When preparing raspberry and currant compote for the winter, you can use sterilization of cans with compote (warm for 10 minutes in boiling water) or first cook the compote as for daily consumption, and then pour into jars and close the lids.
– In order to save storage space and containers, it is recommended to cook a concentrated compote for the winter: fill the jar tightly with berries, and cook the syrup with a large (about 30%) amount of sugar. When consumed, this drink is diluted with water.
