Strawberry compote for winter
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. The ingredients for the compote are calculated for two 2-liter jars; I find it convenient to seal them in small batches. If you prefer 3-liter jars, simply increase the recipe by one third. Many people skip the step of wrapping the jars in a blanket; in that case, you must sterilize the jars with the compote—about 5 to 7 minutes for a 1-liter jar and about 10 minutes for a 3-liter jar. You can substitute lemon acid with fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon per jar. Ready to serve.
