Compote of sea buckthorn and apples for winter

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook compote of sea buckthorn and apples for the winter? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. Take the apples dense, but ripe. Preferably sweeter, as sea buckthorn gives the compote acid. Separate the sea buckthorn berries from the branches and sort out the leaves and other debris.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the picked berries well several times in cold water, and then throw them into a colander. Wash the apples from dirt. Cut each apple into 4 pieces and remove the core. If there is damage on the apples, then they need to be cut off.

3. Step 3:

   

   For compote, you can use cans of any size, the cooking technology will not change from this. You can also fill cans in different ways. You can fill it completely - then the compote will be more concentrated, but there will be less of it in the jar. I fill the cans, about 1/3 of the total volume. Cut the apples into slices and put them in clean jars. Pour sea buckthorn berries.

4. Step 4:

   

   Bring the water to a boil thoroughly and pour this hot water over the jars to the very top. Cover with lids and leave to stand for 20 minutes. During this time, apples and sea buckthorn will warm up well, all the air will come out of them - this will be seen by the rising bubbles.

6. Step 5:

   

   Then drain all the water from the cans into a saucepan and add sugar. The amount of sugar can be slightly changed in one direction or another to your taste. Put the pan on the fire and bring to a boil. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Leave the syrup to boil for 1-2 minutes.

7. Step 6:

   

   Then pour the boiling syrup back into the jars to the very top and close the prepared lids tightly. Wrap the jars in a blanket and leave to cool slowly. In this form, they will continue to warm up for a long time. Remove the cooled cans to a cool place for storage.

8. Step 7:

   

   The compote will infuse, and the sea buckthorn will sell him a beautiful yellow color. Have a nice winter treat!
