For the compote of frozen strawberries, blackberries and lingonberries, I used berries that I froze myself (peeled, washed, dried), so I skipped the washing step indicated in the recipe. Instead of lingonberries, I had red currants. I added more sugar than in the recipe because my berries are sour. The result is a delicious, rich, and also healthy compote! The recipe is especially relevant now, when it is necessary to empty the freezer during the season of fresh vegetables and fruits. Thank you!
