Prepare the ingredients. The presence of frozen cranberries in the freezer is a real value. Because in winter and spring, when there is a large lack of vitamins in the human body, frozen cranberry compote can help maintain this vitamin balance, of course, provided that this drink is consumed regularly.
Preparing compote from frozen cranberries is very simple. Cranberry berries need to be washed well, remove various kinds of debris and leaves.
Put the berries in a saucepan. Add sugar. If desired, the amount of sugar can be increased or decreased. With an increase in the amount of sugar, the drink naturally becomes less useful. However, with the complete exclusion of sugar, the compote will become very sour and not tasty. Cranberry is a very sour berry and reveals its taste precisely with the addition of sugar, even if a small amount.
Fill the contents of the pan with water and put it on fire. When the sugar dissolves, the water boils, reduce the heat to medium and let the compote cook for no more than 5 minutes, because with a long time of heat treatment, all the vitamins from cranberries and the drink will evaporate from it, which is unacceptable. Turn off the fire. Cover the pan with a lid and let the compote stand under the lid for about 20 minutes.
Pour the compote into glasses and serve it to the table. Frozen cranberry compote is delicious both hot and cold. If desired, the compote can be filtered to prevent berries from getting into the drink. But still it is better to leave the berries in the compote, since they also have a lot of vitamins and nutrients left in them. Cranberry compotes are also cooked with the addition of other fruits and berries, thereby changing the taste of the drink.
Bon appetit!
