In chamomile, the fruits are characterized by a sweet and sour taste, in the berries there are a lot of vitamins and nutrients, often used as a therapeutic and prophylactic.

In this part of the article, I will consider step-by-step recipes for stewed compote. Using one of them, you will make a wonderful drink, the aroma of which will strengthen apples, cranberries or cherries.

How to cook stewed compote for the winter

Stewed chokeberry compotes, prepared without the addition of other berries or fruits, due to their low acidity, have a not very pleasant taste. Still aronia cannot boast of a pronounced aroma. That is why apples, plums, raspberries, currants, lemon or natural fruit and berry juice are added to homemade preparations.

• Peel the fruits of the black chokeberry and raspberry from the twigs, rinse and drop it in a colander. Lay out the components in prepared jars.
• Boil water in a small saucepan, add sugar and boil the syrup a little. Pour the fruit with the resulting sugar liquid.
• Place the jars with the contents in a large container and sterilize. To do this, put the wire rack on the bottom of the hot water tank, and put cans on top and cover the dishes. Water should cover the glassware on the shoulders. The duration of sterilization after boiling is 20-40 minutes, depending on the displacement.
• Carefully remove the finished compote from the pan, roll it up and set it aside. The main thing is that the banks are upside down. To keep stewed vitamins, store in a cool and dark place. If the cellar is damp, grease the covers with a greasy composition, otherwise they will rust.

In some regions of Russia, people use a faster way to make a drink that does not require sterilization. As a result, the shelf life of such a compote does not exceed one year.

In this case, only lids and cans are sterilized. Prepared berries are poured into glass containers, which are subsequently poured with hot syrup. Then the cans are clogged and after cooling the contents are cleaned in the cellar.

Stewed apples and apples

It is impossible not to mention the stunning color of compote. I advise you to drink it from glass goblets. So you can simultaneously enjoy the taste, admire the color and contemplate the game of light glare.

Use sour green apples to make miraculous compote. The fruits of the "wild game" will do. They are saturated with a large amount of nutrients, and after heat treatment do not turn into porridge.

• Green apples - 300 g.
• Chokeberry - 0.5 cups.
• Sugar - 6 tablespoons.
• Water - 3 liters

1. Compote is prepared instantly, since fruits and berries do not need to be pre-processed. Some chefs advise to wash the berries with boiling water after washing, so that the chokeberry becomes tender. I do not do this, because under the influence of hot water the berries burst and lose juice.
2. Boil water first. After boiling in a pan, send the apples, cut into several pieces. If desired, remove the seeds, although this is not necessary. Make minimal heat and cover the pan with a lid.
3. Next, send the rowan berries to the pan. After boiling water again, add sugar, mix and boil the compote for about two minutes. A longer treatment will lead to the destruction of vitamins.
4. Remove pan from heat and leave overnight. It is enough that the compote is infused and acquires a bright taste. Keep in the refrigerator.

It takes me no more than ten minutes to make fruit compote. The drink should be infused, because this is the secret of taste and rich color. But for the pleasure that he provides, you can wait. If you want variety, do cranberry juice. None of the purchased drinks compare with him.

The benefits of blackberry compote

Aronia ripening ends in late September. At this point, each of the berries becomes a source of vitamins "C", "B", "P" and "E". The fruits are saturated with important trace elements, including boron, iron, copper, molybdenum and manganese.

Iodine is present in the fruits of Chokeberry, which relieves symptoms in diseases of the thyroid gland and has a beneficial effect on immunity.

Doctors advise a chokeberry for overwork, radiation sickness, sleep disturbances and typhus. Aronia berries are rich in volatile production, which impede the development of dysentery bacillus and Staphylococcus aureus, and pectin substances make chokeberry a good way to cleanse the body of radioactive substances and heavy metals.

Aronia is extremely useful for hypertensive patients, as it stabilizes blood pressure.

Rowan shrubs are unpretentious to the habitat and climatic conditions. It is not surprising that they are used in cottages as a hedge. Not every gardener knows that the berries of Chokeberry in terms of vitamin C content will compete with currants or oranges.
