Blackcurrant compote with lemon in a 3-liter jar for the winter

Content

If you have prepared black currants for the winter in the form of jam, jam or jelly during the berry season, but the berry remains, prepare a delicious and healthy drink from it - blackcurrant compote with lemon. It is prepared in 3-liter cans and with a small amount of currants, because there should be just a fragrant drink with pleasant citrus notes. Such compote is often complemented with mint, lemon balm and spices, but this is to taste.

Ingredients

Black currant 2 tbsp. Lemon 0.5 pcs. Granulated sugar 350 gr. Water 2.5 l.

Cooking process

First, measure out the required amount of ingredients for preparing the drink and immediately put clean drinking water to boil in a saucepan.

Carefully separate the currant berries from the large branches, and the small ones do not need to be removed. Then rinse the currants well and discard in a colander so that the excess water is glass.

Rinse a 3-liter jar with baking soda. You do not need to sterilize it. Pour the prepared currants into a clean jar.

Rinse the lemon with a brush and cut a half of it together with the zest into thin slices.

Place the lemon mugs in a jar on top of the currants.

With water boiling by this time, carefully so that the jar does not burst, pour the currants with lemon in the jar. Then cover the jar with a lid and leave for 10 minutes to blanch and partially sterilize the berries.

After this time, pour the berry infusion from the jar through a special lid into the same saucepan, add the required amount of sugar, stir and cook the syrup for 3-5 minutes from the beginning of the boil.

Re-pour the currants with lemon with boiling syrup and immediately seal the jar tightly. Check the tightness of the seaming. Then put the jar on the lid and cover with a terry towel for 10-12 hours so that the compote cools completely under the towel.
