Pear compote
Description
I preserve compote in 1-liter jars, which need to be sterilized in advance, as well as the lids. I've indicated the ingredient quantities for 2 one-liter jars. Generally, there's one simple rule for all compotes—fill jars one-third full. No matter what container you use for preserving, even without scales, fill them one-third full, add sugar to taste, and the amount of water is individual, depending on how much fits into the jar. Check out the recipe and show off your preserves. Good luck!
