Often in our supermarkets you can get to pleasant promotions and prices for many products. In the summer, they often touch the frost section. It was during this period that many shops and manufacturers set ridiculous prices for frozen berries. If I come across such a promotion, I always buy a berry mixture. It often contains strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, black currants and cranberries. This mixture can be used to prepare many delicious meals in winter. Compotes, fillings for pies, dumplings, sauces for meat and poultry are incredibly tasty. Today we will prepare a delicious and healthy drink - a simple homemade compote.
Ingredients:
Frozen berry mixture - 300 g
Water - 1 liter
Sugar sand - 4-5 tbsp.
Preparation:
1. To prepare compote from berries, we will prepare the necessary products. This time I defrosted the berry platter on purpose to show how much juice can be in a package. We in no way drain it, everything goes into action. If you are preparing a pie filling from such frozen berries, you can add a little cornstarch, which will thicken this juice. If dumplings, then with the addition of sugar, you can cook a delicious thick sauce, and put the berries in the filling.
2. In a saucepan or stewpan, you need to boil a liter of clean drinking water, carefully put the berries and juice into it, mix.
3. Boil for 3-4 minutes, during this time they will all float up, foam will appear on the surface. It must be constantly removed with a spoon so that the drink is clean and transparent.
4. Then add sugar to taste. Its amount depends on the variety and sweetness of the berries. We eat little sugar, so four tablespoons were enough for us, if you have a sweet tooth, add more, and if, on the contrary, are categorically against this product, then replace it with honey. Cook the compote for another 2 minutes.
5. That's it, turn off the gas, remove the pan from the stove, cover and leave it until it cools completely. During this time, all the berries will give off their taste and aroma, and the drink will become saturated not only in taste, but also in color. Transfer the cooled compote to the refrigerator before serving.
Pour the finished cold compote together with the berries into any containers and serve with teaspoons or dessert spoons.
Enjoy!
