What's good about ranetki?The apple harvest can be collected from the end of July until late autumn, which greatly simplifies the preparation process.They can be rolled up whole, since one apple weighs no more than 20–25 g.For preparations, you can use not only three-liter jars, but also smaller ones, which is very convenient.Ranetki go well with any other fruits and berries. During the summer, you can preserve them with raspberries, currants, gooseberries, chokeberries, sea buckthorn, grapes, and plums. For added flavor, you can add mint, lemon balm, or cinnamon.Recipe for a 3-liter jar.
Ingredients
- 350-400 G. ranetki
- 200-300 G. Sahara
- 2.5 l. water
Instructions
- If possible, choose ripe, undamaged apples. If the apples are damaged, carefully remove the rotten parts.
- Soak the fruits for 20–30 minutes, and then wash thoroughly under running water.
- Leave the cores in. The stems can be trimmed slightly or removed completely.
- Wash the jars thoroughly with baking soda or mustard, rinse well with water, and sterilize. Liter jars can be easily sterilized in the microwave by adding a small amount of water and microwave on high for 3 minutes.Two- and three-liter jars can be held over steam for 15–20 minutes or placed in the oven with a small amount of water for 30 minutes.
- Wash the lids thoroughly with baking soda, boil for 5 minutes and leave in boiling water until the end of the process.
- Place the prepared apples in a jar. For a delicious compote, the apples should fill at least 1/3 of the jar, but you can use more or less if desired.
- Fill the jars with fruit completely with boiling water without sugar and let them sit for 10-15 minutes so that the apples warm up well inside.
- Pour the water from the jar into a saucepan, add sugar and boil, stirring, until completely dissolved.
- Pour the prepared syrup into the jar and immediately seal with hot, sterile lids.
- Place the jars upside down on the floor, having first placed something warm on the floor. Wrap them tightly on top and leave until completely cooled (about 24 hours).
- The cooled jars can be put away for winter storage.
Note
To prevent the jar from bursting, place a tablespoon in it.
