Melon is very useful, it contains a large amount of antioxidants, as well as a large set of useful vitamins and minerals. Melon is recommended to be taken with exhaustion and anemia, atherosclerosis, as well as some cardiovascular diseases. It is a pity that the melon season is not as great as we would like. But the pleasure of this fruit can be prolonged with the help of blanks. Various kinds of goodies are prepared from melon. One of the variants of the blanks is described in this recipe. This is melon compote. It is not difficult to cook it, it turns out a very fragrant drink! To somehow enrich the drink, some housewives add vanilla, mint and other flavor enhancers to the compote. But even without them, melon has a pronounced aroma that can cheer up, give strength and energy, and give a wonderful mood.
