Fruit compote from dried fruits
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Fruit compote made from dried fruits is considered a traditional drink in Eastern European countries. It can be prepared both with and without sugar. Dried fruit compote improves digestion and enriches the body with beneficial nutrients that are well preserved during the drying process. Sweet compote goes perfectly with various cakes, muffins, cheesecakes, and cookies, while sugar-free compote is suitable for those on a diet. This drink is especially beneficial for children, particularly in winter, as dried fruits contain many vitamins and minerals essential for a growing child's body. By the way, doctors allow giving dried fruit compote to children from the age of 6 months. Today I'd like to share my recipe with you. Serve chilled.
