Plum compote for the winter
4 servings
20 minutes
Plum compote for winter is a classic Russian drink that preserves the taste of sunny summer in the cold months. Its history goes back to the traditions of home canning when housewives prepared seasonal fruits to delight their families in winter. Plums give the compote a rich ruby color and a pleasant sweet-sour harmony. Sugar softens the natural acidity of the fruits, creating a balanced flavor. This compote can be served as an independent drink or used as a base for desserts and cocktails. It perfectly complements traditional winter treats, warming the soul and reminding of warm days. Sealed jars last long, gradually revealing the taste and aroma of the fruits. In every sip – comfort, care, and family traditions.
