Homemade pear compote is a completely natural drink. Unlike industrial soda, it can be safely given to young children. In addition, you can independently adjust the amount of sugar, taking into account the natural sweetness of pears and in general by controlling the consumption of sugar in foods. Compote according to this recipe does not require sterilization, which is an undoubted advantage: less time and hassle in the kitchen. To make it convenient to calculate the volume of raw materials and understand the final amount of compote, the components are indicated on a three-liter jar.
Ingredients
Cooking process
We thoroughly rinse the pears in a large amount of running water in order to maximally clean their surface from contamination (remember that the compote will be prepared without sterilization). If necessary, you can use a soft brush. It is worth knowing that hard pear varieties are better suited for compote, since they retain their shape well. This is visually appealing and also allows the use of compote pears as a dessert afterwards.
We measure out the required amount of granulated sugar. If the pears are sweet, then the amount of sugar can be reduced. For additional flavoring, we suggest using a little vanillin. This step can be skipped if desired. Alternatively, substitute the same amount of ground cinnamon for vanillin for a subtle aromatic accent.
Bring the water to a boil in a separate container. Fill the pears laid in jars with boiling water. Leave the fruit in boiling water for heat treatment for fifteen minutes. Then we drain the water from the cans (it is convenient to use a special lid with holes for this) back into the pan, add granulated sugar to it and put it on the stove. Bring the syrup to a boil. Add vanillin to the jars to the steamed pears for flavoring and fill with boiling syrup. We immediately roll up the lids using a seaming key. We turn the seams upside down to check the tightness and wrap them with a warm blanket. In this position, we leave the compote for slow cooling - during this time the drink will passively sterilize. Cooled jars can be stored in a cool, dark place.
Bon Appetit!
