Apricot Compote for Winter with Honey and Cinnamon
How lovely it is to taste a bit of summer fruit in the dead of winter! These canned apricots will brighten up the cold months. You can certainly make this compote without the cinnamon and honey, but I'd encourage you to experiment with the flavor — try adding nutmeg, dried tangerine peel, and cloves, too. Give it a go; you won't regret it!

- Summer is over, fresh fruit is slowly disappearing, and yet you crave your favorite fresh-squeezed flavors in fall and winter. That's exactly when a jar of home-canned compote comes to the rescue! It delivers summer flavor and plenty of vitamins. You can make compote from any fruit or berry, which is why there are so many recipes. I'm especially fond of apricot compote with honey — honey and cinnamon give a special taste and aroma to compote made from any fruit. First, prep the jars: wash them well and hold them over steam for about five minutes. Use medium-sized ripe apricots. They shouldn't be too soft, or they'll turn mushy during cooking — that won't ruin the flavor, but it will cloud the compote. Divide the washed apricots evenly among the jars. Make the syrup from water and honey: dissolve the honey in the water and bring it to a boil. Pour the hot syrup over the apricots, seal the jars with lids, and sterilize for 10 minutes. After a couple of days, the apricot compote is ready to enjoy. And if you decide to use tangerine peel, cinnamon, and other spices, add them while making the syrup — then strain the syrup through a sieve to remove the tangerine peel and cloves before pouring it over the fruit.
