Blackcurrant and raspberry compote

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make blackcurrant and raspberry compote for the winter? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Choose berries that are ripe, firm, without signs of damage or spoilage. Sort the berries. Remove all leaves and twigs. Rinse the berries. Wash raspberries very carefully so as not to damage the berries. And the currants can be washed and placed in a colander to allow excess liquid to drain.

2. STEP 2

   

   Prepare jars for compote. Any size jar can be used. It’s convenient for me to seal the compote in liter jars. Wash and rinse them thoroughly. Then sterilize the jars in any convenient way. This can be done in the microwave, in the oven or over hot steam. Boil the lids separately.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place raspberries in prepared jars. I got a few yellow berries.

4. STEP 4

   

   Next, arrange the blackcurrant berries.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour sugar into jars and add a pinch of citric acid. The amount of sugar can be increased slightly to suit your taste.

6. STEP 6

   

   Boil water separately. Fill the jars with boiling water to 1/3 of the volume. Cover with sterile lids and leave to stand for 10 minutes. To keep the jars warm, cover them with a towel.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then separately boil the water again and add boiling water to the jars. Close the compote with lids and roll the jars a little so that the sugar dissolves.

8. STEP 8

   

   Turn the jars upside down and check for leaks. Wrap the finished compote in a warm blanket and leave it like that until it cools completely. Store the cooled jars in the basement or cellar. Have a nice winter treat!
