Compote from frozen blackcurrants
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. You can cook this compote using either black or red currants; however, red currants are less aromatic, so it makes sense to add spices or dried fruits, such as cinnamon and prunes, to enhance the flavor. Otherwise, everything is very simple and straightforward—just read the recipe and you'll understand everything. Good luck!
