Cherry Plum and Zucchini Compote for Winter

An original compote with an intriguing flavor! Surprise your family and guests! You'd think zucchini and cherry plum couldn't possibly go together—and zucchini in a compote? Plenty of people are skeptical. I'll admit I was one of them, but one day I decided to try this compote when I had a glut of cherry plums and didn't know what to do with them. The result blew me away! My family loved it too. Now cherry plum and zucchini compote is a must among my winter preserves.

    1. Wash and dry the zucchini and cherry plums. 2. Put the cherry plums into sterilized jars. 3. Cut the zucchini into rounds and add them to the cherry plums. 4. Sometimes, if I can (or feel like it), I add a sprig of mint—you can too. It adds an interesting note to the flavor, but you can skip this step. 5. Fill the jars with boiling water and cover them with sterilized lids. Let the jars stand like this for half an hour. 6. Once the time's up, drain the liquid from the jars into an enamel pot, add the sugar, and set it on the stove. 7. Bring the syrup to a boil, stirring so all the sugar crystals dissolve, then cook it for one minute. 8. Pour the syrup back into the jars and seal them. Let them cool upside down, wrapped in a blanket. Your cherry plum and zucchini compote is ready!
