I described in detail how to prepare plum compote for the winter in my recipe with step-by-step photos taken. If you want to make a blank, just use it.

How to cook plum and orange compote for the winter

The basic cooking steps are very simple. In order to prepare a bright and colorful drink for the winter, you will need 20-40 minutes of free time.

The preparatory process consists of sterilization glass jars, picking fruit, and also their subsequent washing. After the plums are collected and the orange is purchased, you need to cut the orange into small slices.

Simply wash the plums carefully. You can choose plums that are even slightly unripe. When harvested, such fruits will not lose their shape and will remain intact.

At the bottom of the jar we put plums (if large - 6-10 pieces, if small - 15-18), orange slices and, if desired, you can add any berries that are available or that you like. It could be raspberries, currants, cherries.In total, the jar should be filled 30 - 40%. Today I make a preparation only from plums and oranges.

Pour sugar on top - 220 grams and citric acid - 1 teaspoon.

Now, you just need to pour boiled water into the jars with fruit and sugar and roll up the lid.

In order for the sugar to dissolve, you need to rock the jar a little from side to side. Sugar will dissolve quickly in hot water.

Then, turn the jars upside down and wrap them in something warm.

So the compote of plums and oranges will stand until it cools completely.

As a result, you will get a delicious homemade drink that has a beautiful color, bright and rich taste of exotic orange with a pleasant sourness of juicy plum.
