Grape Compote for Winter (3-Liter Jar)

Homemade and wonderful! A simple recipe for an absurdly delicious compote! If you love compote as much as I do and want to put some grapes up for winter, give this excellent grape compote a try. The best grape compote comes from firm berries — taut skins and dense flesh hold up best to canning. And I always try to pick the largest grapes I can find.

  • For my winter grape compote, I always use clean berries — no stems or bits, I toss anything that doesn't belong. If you find nice firm grapes, cleaning them is no trouble. After pulling off all the stems, I rinse the grapes well and let them drain. Once they're dry, I pack them into smallish jars, fitting the berries snugly together right up to the lid. Then I set the grapes aside and start on the syrup. My best syrup for winter grape compote is 1 liter (about 4¼ cups) of water to 350 g (about 1¾ cups) of sugar. I add the sugar only once the water is boiling, then bring the syrup back to a boil, stirring constantly so it doesn't scorch. As soon as it boils, I pour it over the grapes in the jars and cover with lids. Now the compote needs to be sterilized for about 30 minutes before I can seal the jars. The grape compote comes out just wonderful — deep and rich. In winter you can stir it into cocktails or homemade jelly for a treat that tastes almost like summer.
