Step 1
Prepare all the necessary ingredients. I don't remove the cherry pits, as it's completely unnecessary for making compote. If you don't have kitchen scales, you can measure the amount of cherries using a half-liter jar—it's very simple and quick.

Step 2
Wash and sterilize a 3-liter bottle. You can sterilize it in several ways: pour boiling water inside, hold it over steam (you can use a small saucepan or kettle for this), or use a steamer or microwave. I'm sure every housewife has her own proven methods—use whichever is most convenient for you. Using a half-liter jar, measure the required amount of cherries and place them into the sterilized bottle. Add a glass of sugar as well.

Step 3
Pour boiling water over everything and immediately seal the jar (by the way, it's also advisable to sterilize the lids). Then turn the jar upside down and cover it with a terry towel. This is necessary to slow down the cooling process and allow the drink to absorb the cherry flavor and aroma more quickly.

That's it, the compote is ready. It doesn't have the characteristic color yet, but wait a little — and everything will be perfect!
