Blueberry compote in a 3-liter jar for the winter

Processing berries is the longest and most difficult stage in preparation. To speed up your work, place the blueberries in a bowl or deep saucepan. Then fill them with warm water. Leaves and other debris should float to the surface, which must be carefully removed. Take a piece of cloth and dip it into the water. Use this item to collect the remaining debris. Rinse the blueberries well. It is advisable to do this step several times.

Transfer the berries to a colander and let sit for a couple of minutes. During this time, excess liquid will drain from the surface of the berries. Spread tea towels on the table. You can also use paper ones. Place blueberries on top of them. Examine it carefully. If you miss at least one spoiled berry, you will have to pour out the cooked compote. Therefore, touch the blueberries with your hands several times, examining each berry. After that, leave it on a towel to dry the berries completely.

Let's move on to preparing the cans. First, rinse them in warm water. After that, we need to scald each jar with boiling water. Fill the kettle with cold water. Put it on the stove and wait until the water begins to boil slowly. Place the jar on the spout of the teapot. Steam must flow inside it. It is necessary to keep the jar in this position for 2-3 minutes. After that, remove it from the kettle spout and place it on a kitchen towel so that the water slowly flows out of the jar. Additionally, you do not need to wipe it off from drops. After this treatment, the jars will dry very quickly.

Fill each jar with blueberries. Add sugar to it. The amount can vary depending on how sweet you want the compote to be. Fill a pot with cold water. Put it on fire. Wait for the water to boil. Pour boiling water into each jar. It is very important to make sure that each jar is hot. Otherwise, it may crack while you pour boiling water over the berries and sugar. You can cover the jars with any lids. Be sure to sterilize each lid with boiling water before doing this. Twist the cans. Then wrap them in a blanket or large towel. Wait for the jars to cool completely. Store them in a cool place. For example, in the closet.
