Cherry compote
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. The recipe provided here is for a 3-liter jar, so you need exactly enough cherries to fill one-third of the jar. It is important to note that once you've completed all the main steps of preparing and sealing the compote, you should turn the jar upside down (so it stands on its lid) and cover it with a warm cloth for 12 hours. Store the compote in a dark, cool place. The ideal storage locations are a cellar or a pantry. The drink is now ready to serve.
