  • How do you put up apricot compote with citric acid for the winter?
  • First, prep the apricots. Wash the fruit well under hot water, then drop it into boiling water for no more than 3 minutes. Peel the skins and remove the pits, cutting each apricot in half. You can leave the skins on (in that case just pour boiling water over them), but the pits must come out. Next, take clean 2- or 3-quart (2- or 3-liter) jars, wash them well, and pack in the apricots. Make the syrup separately: combine the sugar and water, add the citric acid, and set it over low heat. Stir constantly so the sugar doesn't scorch, bring it to a boil, and boil for about 5 minutes. Pour the hot syrup over the apricots in the jars and set them to sterilize. Then seal the jars, turn them upside down, and let them cool covered with a blanket. After a while, move them to the cellar — and come winter, enjoy a delicious drink :)
  • This amount of ingredients makes about four 3-quart (3-liter) jars of compote.
  • For the best results, use filtered or bottled water with a neutral taste. Tap water can give the drink an off, distinctive flavor.
