Cranberry compote for winter

Make sure that the cans are well washed (they can not be sterilized). Now we sort out the lingonberries and rinse them thoroughly. Next, arrange the berries into jars, they should occupy about 1/3-2/3 of the volume of the jar. Lower the lids for the cans into the water and boil them for a few minutes. Then pour water into a saucepan and put it on the fire. Add 500 ml of sugar to the water, stir and cook for a couple of minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and pour the syrup over the berries so that the liquid completely occupies the jar and even overflows over the top. Close the jar with a lid. Put all the rolled-up cans on the floor, bottom up, and cover with a blanket for 12 hours. Ready-made compote should be stored in a cool place, for example, in a cellar.
