Irga is a very useful berry, so it is increasingly spreading in gardens and vegetable gardens. Compote from irga for the winter is usually prepared with the addition of fruits or berries with a sour taste, because irga itself is a rather bland berry. We generally eat it fresh more often directly from the tree, they do not collect it precisely because of the blandness of its taste, and fresh irga is very juicy and tasty, sweet, but not cloying.
Instead of other fruits and berries, fresh lemon slices, citric acid or even vinegar are added to the compote.
Compote is made with and without sterilization. The recipe suggests the second option - all components and utensils used for packaging and storage are sterilized, and the compote undergoes a pasteurization process, rolled up hot and sent under a fur coat until it cools completely. This is a proven and reliable method, with full compliance with all cooking technology, compote can be stored in room conditions.
