Raspberry and blueberry compote for winter storage
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I prepare many different kinds of fruit drinks, but I like raspberry-based ones the most. Raspberry always gives the drink a bright flavor. I prefer adding just a little sugar, as I don't like overly sweet compotes. Adjust the amount according to your taste. Serve chilled.
