Apricot compote for winter storage
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Before starting the preservation process, prepare the jars and lids by washing them thoroughly and sterilizing with steam or in the oven. Then sort the fruit, removing any spoiled pieces, wash them, and remove the pits. Fill the sterilized jars with apricots, add sugar, lemon, and mint, pour boiling water over them, sterilize, and seal. Make sure no sugar remains at the bottom—shake the jar if necessary. This recipe is designed for two 2-liter jars.
