Fruit compote for children
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Since ancient times in Russia, fruits and berries have been dried for winter and then used to make tasty, vitamin-rich compotes. After all, dried fruits contain a much higher concentration of vitamins than fresh ones. Compotes made from dried fruits are very beneficial for children and can be introduced as early as six months of age. Initially, compote should be made from fruits the child has already tried and to which they have no allergic reaction. Preparing compote from dried fruits is very easy. 1. Thoroughly rinse the dried fruits. It's best to soak prunes and dried apricots in hot water for about 30 minutes, then rinse and cut them in half. 2. Bring water to a boil, then add the prepared dried fruits to the pot. 3. Boil for about 10 minutes with the lid closed. 4. Remove from heat and let steep for 3–4 hours, or preferably overnight. Do not add sugar when serving compote to very young children. For older children, add a small amount of sugar to taste. Serve chilled.
