The aroma of summer or yellow plum compote

Unlike drinks made from blue varieties of fruit, yellow plum gives compote a sweeter taste, so you should not put a lot of sugar.

Plum Drink One of the simplest and easiest to prepare yellow plum compote recipes for the winter is a single pouring of fruit with sugar syrup. Despite the fact that the drink is not further sterilized, it is well kept and so, because the plums have their own necessary acid.

For the preparation of two cans of compote with a capacity of 3 liters each will need:

• ripe, but not very soft plums - 1 kg;
• sugar - 600 g;
• water - 5 liters.

Step by step preparation of yellow plum compote:

1. Sterilize the bottle.
2. Brute fruit, tearing off the tails, and wash. Let dry a little.
3. Spread the cream over the cans, dividing them equally.
4. Pour water into a medium saucepan on the basis of one can of about 2.5 liters. You can take a little more with a margin. When it boils, add sugar. Stir for 5 minutes.
5. Pour plums with boiling syrup, roll up and cover with a warm blanket for self-sterilization.
6. After the cans with the compote have cooled down completely, take them to a cellar or cellar for storage.

A compote of yellow plums with stones is recommended to be stored no more than 1 year. Its further storage may be fraught with food poisoning due to special substances released from the bones.
