Canned apples

Through the pages of the history

For a long time, the secret of how to preserve apples was kept secret by the hostesses, fearing that the courtiers of the kingdoms would find out the recipe and treat the entire royal army with healing compote. As a result, apples could become a scarce fruit, and commoners would lose any opportunity to preserve not only compote, but also prepare jams, apple jam and other goodies for the winter. But their fears were justified as a result of an absurd situation.

Once the beauty liked the prince, who came to her parents to ask for the hand of his daughter. The frightened parents were speechless at such a proposal, and at the request of the nobleman to bring some drink to quench their thirst, the mother presented the sir with canned apple compote. “Magic!” exclaimed the prince, having tasted the taste of compote. “I want my future wife to prepare such drinks for me all my life,” said the sir and knelt in front of the dumbfounded bride.

Since then, all of Rus' has tried apple compote, which people have learned to cook not only in the summer season, but also skillfully close in jars that can preserve the exquisite taste of dessert for a long time. So, today something phenomenal will happen in the kitchen of HozOboz - we are preserving apple compote. So let's put everything aside and start conservation.

To do this, we need a modest list of products:

• 2 kg. fresh semi-ripe apples;
• 270 gr. pure sugar;
• 2 sprigs of fragrant dried mint.

Cooking steps:

1. We prepare apples. We select whole semi-ripe fruits without flaws in the form of black dots and damage to the skin. Ideally, apples of the white filling variety are suitable, but if they are difficult to find, then fruits of other varieties are quite suitable.
   

   For harvesting, we select ideal ripe fruits, preferably white filling varieties.

2. Thoroughly wash the apples under a plentiful stream of water. It is important to remove all bacteria and microbes from the fruit, which in the future can become the main cause of compote fermentation.

   Pour boiling water into jars, filling them to the brim, and leave to infuse for 20 minutes.

8. We put a colander special for canning on the neck of the jar.
   

   After 20 minutes, put a colander lid with holes on the jar

9. Completely drain the hot water.
   

   Drain the water from each jar into a pot for re-boiling.
