Plum compote for a 3 liter jar with pits

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook plum compote for the winter in a 3 liter jar with pits? First of all, prepare the plums. You can use any variety of berries. Or combine several varieties of plums at the same time. I made compote for two jars, so I doubled the quantity of all components.

2. STEP 2

   

   For compote, choose whole berries without blemishes. Remove wormy specimens. Remove the stems from the plums and wash the berries thoroughly in cold water.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash a three-liter jar with baking soda and rinse several times in clean water. Sterilize the jar using any method available to you. I usually do this in a water bath. Pour boiling water over the lid and keep it this way for 5-10 minutes. Add plums to the jar. The number of berries can be slightly increased or decreased as desired. Pour sugar and citric acid into a jar.

4. STEP 4

   

   Boil the water. Fill the jar with boiling water up to the neck.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cover the top with a sterile lid and immediately roll up with a special key. Using a towel, take the hot jar and shake it from top to bottom. This way you will check the jar for leaks and dissolve the sugar inside the compote.

6. STEP 6

   

   Turn the container upside down and wrap it in a warm blanket. Leave until the compote has cooled completely. It takes me about a day or two.

7. STEP 7

   

   Compote of plums with pits is ready. Store it in a cool, dark place until winter and beyond.

I saw on the website a recipe for plum compote for the winter for a 3-liter jar with seeds and decided to make it. I didn’t roll up the jar, but made a compote to drink now. I had a frozen yellow plum, and I made a compote from it. I used a little more water, about 200 ml. The compote turned out to have a rich and bright plum taste. Honestly, I was afraid that with 1.5 cups of sugar it would turn out very sweet, but no, just right. Zhemchuzhina, thank you very much for the recipe for such a delicious compote!

It is good to prepare compote from plums for the winter, when they are fully ripe, but not yet overripe. Usually I prepare assorted plums and apples, but this year there are few apples, so there will only be compotes made from plums. My fruits are pink-purple (prunes), so the compote turned out to be a beautiful pink color. I decided to take 300 g of sugar, so it tasted sweeter. After pouring, I left the jars for an hour so that the plums were well saturated with water. But I forgot to pierce the skin with a toothpick and some of the cream burst, but this is not critical) And I also noticed that the plaque on the plum subsequently floats to the surface and forms a film. I don’t know if this is harmful during storage, but just in case, I carefully wiped each cream after washing. Happy preparations everyone!
