Autumn has already arrived, and we still continue to make preparations for the winter. Today I propose a recipe for an aromatic and very tasty drink - we will prepare apple compote with aronia. Pleasant sweet taste with thin sourness and gentle aroma of this drink will be appreciated by both adults and kids.
By tradition, compotes and juices for the winter I roll in small banks. In this recipe, 3 cans will be used, with a capacity of 1 liter each, so you can take one three-liter can. The proportions of the necessary ingredients are indicated just for such a volume. We will carry out the preparation of this fruit and berry compote by the method of double pouring, and store the drink in a dry cool place or closet.
To prepare this delicious and fragrant compote for the winter we will be made of chokeberry, apples, water, granulated sugar and citric acid. The amount of sugar depends on the variety (sweetness) of apples and your preferences.
The first thing you need to carefully prepare the jars and lids in any convenient way for you. Since even for compotes I use jars with a capacity of no more than one liter, they fit perfectly in the microwave, in which the sterilization process takes place. I wash my jars of soda or detergent thoroughly, then rinse in cold water and pour about 100 milliliters of water to the bottom of each. We put in the microwave and steamed at the highest power. For one bank - 5 minutes, and 3 banks together is enough for 7-8 minutes. I just wash the lids, put them in a saucepan, pour water (to completely cover the lids) and boil for about 5 minutes. We put berries in prepared jars - I gave the proportions to a three-liter jar, if you remember. In other words, in one liter jar we put 100 grams of berries, which must be removed from the branches in advance, to be picked and washed.
Then we stack the apples. 400 grams is pulp with a peel without seed pods, sliced. I used 3 large apples, each weighing about 180 grams.
Cover with lids and leave it for 10-15 minutes. During this time, the berries will color the water. By the way, this way the fruits are sterilized.
Pour the fruit and berry infusion into the pan and set on fire. Bring to a boil, stir until sugar dissolves, and cook at a moderate boil in just a minute or two.
