5 delicious recipes for making White Naliv apple compote for the winter

To prepare compote from White Naliv apples for the winter, you need to harvest the fruit in a timely manner. Apples that are not fully ripe are best for canning. These fruits are tasty and light in color, but they have one drawback: they spoil quickly. For this reason, the fruit is picked from the tree, not from the ground, and carefully preserved according to the recipe, creating delicious and sweet compotes.

Benefits of making White Naliv apple compote

There are several advantages to a drink made from White filling:

1. The fruits, if preserved whole, can later be used to create desserts.
2. Apples can be combined with other fruits to create a delicious and unusual drink.
3. Compotes made from this variety are sweet, but not cloying; they taste like apple juice.

Selection and preparation of fruits and containers

The fruits will need to be inspected for rot, mold, and damage; any unsuitable parts will need to be removed or damaged areas will need to be discarded.

Note: White filling can be preserved whole or cut into small pieces.

The container will also need to be processed, and it is handled in the following manner:

• Rinse the jars under running water using baking soda;
• we inspect each one for cracks, chips and damage;
• turn it upside down and let the remaining water drain onto a towel;
• Sterilize over steam for 10-15 minutes, depending on the volume of the container.

Delicious recipes for the winter

There are several recipes that will help you create a delicious compote at home.

Traditional compote made from whole apples

If you decide to preserve whole fruits, follow these steps:

1. Select fruits of the same size, inspect them, remove the stems, and place them in a 3-liter jar.
2. Pour a glass of sugar into a container and fill it halfway with boiling water, wait until the sugar dissolves in boiling water.
3. Bring the remaining water to a boil and pour it into the jars with compote up to the neck, close the lid and turn it upside down.
4. Cover the container with a blanket or a warm towel, leave it like that until it cools completely, then put it away for storage.

• prepare syrup by adding sugar to boiling water (keep the temperature for 5 minutes or wait until the sugar is completely dissolved);
• Place the fruit in boiling syrup and keep it there for 10 minutes, then remove it with a slotted spoon and place it in containers;
• add cloves, grated zest, cinnamon, dry white wine to the syrup, boil the syrup for another 5 minutes;
• Pour it over the apples that you previously placed in jars, close the lids, turn them over, and wrap them in a blanket.

Cherry and apple compote

We will prepare the drink according to the following recipe:

1. Place washed cherries on the bottom of a clean jar and place apples on top.
2. Pour boiling water over the ingredients, wait 5 minutes, then drain the syrup.
3. Place the pan with syrup on the stove, add sugar, and cook until it is completely dissolved.
4. We pour the prepared syrup into the jars with compote, close everything with lids, turn them over, wrap them in a blanket, and after a day, put them away in the cellar.

Storage periods and duration

It's best to store jarred compotes in a cool place—a cellar, basement, or refrigerator. The shelf life of such a product is no more than two years.

You shouldn't expose the preserves to temperature changes; in the cold, the compote may freeze, and in the warmth, it may start to ferment.

Preserving, including making compotes, is one way to extend the shelf life of your favorite apples, which certainly won't last through winter and will spoil much earlier. It's also a way to create delicious and aromatic drinks.
