Grape compote for winter in a 3-liter jar
Description
If you love homemade fruit drinks and want to prepare preserves for winter, take a look at this recipe. You can treat your family to a delicious grape compote any time of the year. Any grape variety will work, and by using large jars right away, you won't have to spend the whole day preparing preserves. I make this compote without sterilization, which keeps the grape pulp firm and juicy. For a richer flavor, feel free to double the amount of grapes. Serve chilled.

Step 2
I only add clean, whole berries to compote. No stems or tails. If you have firm grapes, there won't be any problem with cleaning. Rinse the prepared grape berries under running water and drain in a colander.
