Cherry compote without sealing
Description
1. Wash the berries thoroughly under running water and drain in a colander. Sort through them, discarding any spoiled cherries, and remove the stems. 2. Pour water into a saucepan and add sugar (use between 200 and 350 grams of sugar per 1 kilogram of berries, depending on your taste preferences and the sweetness of the cherries). 3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the berries. If you prefer to eat the fruit from the compote, it's better to remove the pits beforehand. 4. Once it comes to a boil again, simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes. Taste and add more sugar if needed. If it's too sweet, add a pinch of citric acid. 5. When the compote is ready, cover it with a lid and let it cool completely. 6. Then pour it into a jar and store in the refrigerator. If desired, you can strain the compote and discard the berries. That's this simple method. Be sure to try it at home.
