Everyone refreshes themselves in the summer heat in their own way: some with kvass and lemonade, while others prefer a cold berry compote. This is truly delicious, and also very useful if you brew the drink correctly in order to preserve everything valuable to the maximum. And if you still don’t understand how to cook jelly from cherries, then we recommend that you familiarize yourself with this recipe too.

We cook berry compote according to all the rules

It would seem that it would be easier - pour water over the berries, boil, add sugar and you’re done. Are you convinced that with all this, the vitamins we need so much will be preserved (a group of low-molecular organic compounds of relatively simple structure and diverse chemical nature) ?

After all, we still strive to throw slightly spoiled berries into the pan - don’t let the goodness go to waste! Let's start with the selection of raw materials.

Which berries to choose?

You can’t make a good compote from spoiled berries. The fruits may be slightly crushed, but not sour or rotten.

What specific berries are suitable for compote? Yes, in fact, everything: a savory drink can be brewed from raspberries, cherries, wild strawberries, grapes, gooseberries, currants of all types, cranberries, viburnum, lingonberries, sea buckthorn, rowan.

About proportions and production time

The main thing is not to overcook the berries, so it’s best to bring them to a boil and let them brew longer. It is normal to keep the drink for 8-10 hours so that the berries give their own taste, smell and beneficial characteristics.

On average, take from 100 to 150 g of sweet sand per 1 liter of water, depending on what you cook from. It is clear that raspberries and cherries are sweeter than cranberries or cherries, which means you can add much less sweetness. And the amount of sugar depends on everyone’s taste preferences.

The proportions of water and berries are also selected personally. Some people like the richest taste, which means they will need more fruit. But this ratio is considered good: the pan should be filled with berries no more than a third (or a quarter).

About cooking methods

Culinary experts recommend cooking berry compote this way: first prepare a syrup from water and sugar, and then boil the fruits in it for 3-5 minutes and leave to infuse. Blackberries and raspberries will give away all that is most valuable if you simply pour syrup over them and let them sit.

This applies to new berries, and frozen ones are poured with cool water and brought to a boil.

There is another method of cooking compote: berries are poured into boiling water. Let it boil, reduce the heat, cook for no more than 5 minutes and leave. Then they filter and add sweet syrup to the finished compote.

About supplements

If the compote is made from sweet berries, then sourness will not hurt at all - add citric acid, or lemon juice or sour berries.

Citrus zest imparts a pleasant taste; do not forget to remove it after cooking.

Add herbs to the compote: lavender, mint, lemongrass, lemon balm, rosemary, thyme, oregano. Some people adore the special notes of cinnamon and cloves, and the taste of vanilla. Rose petals also give the drink a special scent.

Raspberry compote

Raspberry compote is recommended as a remedy for depression, hypertension, for the treatment of atherosclerosis (atherosclerosis is a chronic disease of the elastic and muscular-elastic arteries) and for kidney diseases. And it’s just delicious and super-vitamin-rich!

3 liters of water;
600 grams of raspberries;
100 grams of strawberries;
50 grams of cranberries;
300 grams of granulated sugar.
