Compote from dates and apples
Description
In this recipe, pay attention to the addition of sugar. Dates vary in sweetness, so adjust the amount of sugar accordingly. In my case, 5 tablespoons were enough. You can preserve the date and apple compote for later use. I'll share more about that in the recipe. The drink is ready to serve.
