Hawthorn and apple compote for winter
Description
The ingredient set is calculated for a 1-liter container. You can make a fragrant sea buckthorn and apple compote in early autumn when these berries and fruits ripen. It's best to buy apples from farmers at markets—they don't coat them with paraffin. The compote turns out not only tasty but also healthy. Can be served.

Pour the berries into the saucepan in which you intend to cook the compote. Rinse the apples under water, cut them into four pieces, and remove the cores and seeds. If the apples are store-bought, peel off their skin, as it has a paraffin coating. Rinse the peeled apple flesh and slice it.
