Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Pour dried apricots and raisins into small deep plates separately and fill with warm water. When 5 minutes have passed, drain the water and rinse the dried apricots and raisins well. This will remove possible debris and the water will remain cleaner when cooking compote.

Step 2

Step 2
Pour the prepared washed raisins and dried apricots into an enamel pan of suitable volume — they can be cut into smaller pieces. Sprinkle granulated sugar on top. If you like sweeter drinks, you can increase the amount of sugar according to your taste preferences.

Step 3

Step 3
Pour clean water in the amount of 3 liters. I use melt water for food, which I first freeze in the freezer and then defrost. With such water, all the sediment remains at the bottom, harmful impurities leave. Place the pan on medium heat, cover it with a lid and wait until the water boils.

Step 4

Step 4
After this, keep the pan on the stove for about 10-15 minutes. During this time, the compote will acquire a rich color and will be ready for use. Turn off the heat and let the compote cool. After this, you can pour it into a glass jar — to do this, you need to put gauze on the neck of the jar, which will trap all the debris. Cover the container with a lid and put the compote in the refrigerator. It tastes much better when chilled.
