I saved the recipe for this compote back in the summer; I still wanted to taste it. I just prepared it now, in winter. Well, in general, everything is logical, in winter there are no fresh fruits and berries) It was difficult for me to imagine what the end result would be, so I cooked half the portion. My raisins are ordinary dark ones, not medicinal. I washed it well and filled it with water. Cooked it as written in the recipe. True, my compote was infused for about half an hour, I was busy. I didn’t add sugar right away, I decided to try it first. And after trying it, I realized that I didn’t need either sugar or honey, the compote turned out to be moderately sweet. Just perfect! And it tastes simply amazing. It seems like just raisins, I don’t really like them, but the compote turned out great. It is slightly sweet, the taste of raisins is not bright, but gentle and unobtrusive. To be honest, half a liter of compote was not even enough for me) Now I know this taste and will make raisin compote again. Thank you!
