Description

Homemade compote made from fresh summer berries is very beneficial for our health. It retains the maximum amount of vitamins, making it far superior to store-bought sodas with artificial colors and flavor additives. Such compotes are quick and easy to prepare. For extra flavor, add a tart berry to the cherries, such as red currants (or lemon juice or sour apples). Here is a simple recipe. Ready to serve.
