Dried apricots and raisins compote

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Pour dried apricots and raisins into small deep plates separately and pour warm water. When 5 minutes have passed, drain the water and rinse the dried apricots with raisins well. So the possible litter will be removed and the water will remain cleaner when cooking compote.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour the prepared washed raisins and dried apricots into an enameled pan of a suitable volume - it can be cut into smaller pieces. Pour granulated sugar on top. If you like sweeter drinks, then you can increase the amount of sugar according to your taste preferences.

4. Step 3:

   

   Pour clean water in the amount of 3 liters. I use melted water for food, which I first freeze in the freezer, and then defrost. In such water, all the sediment remains at the bottom, harmful impurities leave.We put the pan on medium heat, cover it with a lid and wait for the water to boil.

5. Step 4:

   

   After that, 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 fire and let the compote cool down. After that, it can be poured into a glass jar - to do this, you need to put gauze on the neck of the jar, which will hold up all the garbage. Cover the container with a lid and put the compote in the refrigerator. It tastes much better when chilled.
