6 cherry compotes with rich taste and aroma

What to consider

Take fruit that is ripe and not spoiled. Before cooking compote, be sure to rinse them under cool water. Remove stalks and leaves.
All recipes are designed for three-liter cans. If you need less volume, reduce the amount of ingredients proportionally.
For sour cherries, increase the amount of sugar. And if you want a richer and more concentrated flavor, add more berries. Dilute a too sweet drink with boiled water.
Sterilize the jars and lids that you will use to preserve the compote.
Store the compote prepared for the winter in a dark and cool place. And if you don't roll up the cans, then in the refrigerator.
