How to make cherry compote:

Cherry compote for winter

Cherry compote, prepared according to the recipe from our chef, is not only delicious but also very healthy. Cherries have a positive effect on immunity, heart, and blood vessels, as they are rich in vitamins A, C, and B, and also contain antioxidants. Spices such as cinnamon, star anise, and anise improve digestion, calm the nervous system, and help fight stress. The tea rose gives an exquisite aroma, and mint adds refreshing notes — thanks to the mint, this compote is the perfect base for hot and cold drinks.

The compote has a rich flavor with a slight sourness of cherries. It is great as a standalone drink and reveals its potential in other beverages:

  • Cold mojito. Open a jar of compote, add a few ice cubes, fresh mint, a slice of lemon or lime – and enjoy a refreshing mojito that will remind you of hot summer even when there’s snow outside.
  • Non-alcoholic mulled wine. Heat the compote together with additional spices: a cinnamon stick, star anise, and orange zest. This warm drink will warm you up on frosty evenings and fill your home with a cozy aroma.

Cherry compote for 6 jars of 1 liter each.
