Ingredients
- 2 fresh apples (it’s best to take sweet and sour ones)
- 150 G sea buckthorn
- 100 G Sahara
- 750 ml filtered water
- ½ tsp citric acid
Instructions
- Wash the fruit and berries thoroughly. You can use any variety of apples, but they should be less tart to ensure a balanced flavor.
- Sort the sea buckthorn. Remove any deformed, wrinkled, or damaged berries, and discard the stems. Cover the sea buckthorn with water, then rinse and drain. Repeat this process several times.
- Place the sea buckthorn in a saucepan. Rinse the apples thoroughly under running water, then cut each into quarters (remove the core and seeds). If you bought the apples at the store, you'll need to peel them.
- Place sugar, citric acid, and apples in a saucepan. Then add warm water, place the saucepan on the stove, and bring the drink to a boil.
- Once the compote boils, reduce the heat and let the drink simmer for another 10–15 minutes.
- As soon as the sea buckthorn berries and apple slices have given up all their aroma and flavor to the compote, turn off the stove.
- Sterilize several jars over steam, and do the same with the lids.
- Let the compote cool slightly. Then pour it into jars and tighten the lids using the threads or a canning wrench. Wait until the contents of the jars have cooled completely, and then store the jars in a cool, dark place (such as a pantry). You can also store the compote in the refrigerator.
- Apple and sea buckthorn compote can be served either chilled or hot. The drink retains its beneficial properties and will appeal to both adults and children.
