Sweet Cherry Compote - Tips and Tricks
• There is a dangerous substance in the bones of a sweet cherry, the amygdalin glycoside. With prolonged storage of compotes, it decomposes and turns into a drink. It is undesirable to store blanks for more than a year.
• When preserved remained sweet syrup? You can pour water into it, add any berries, fruits, lemon, zest, pour karkade, any other fruit tea and make a wonderful drink.
• Tanks for preservation are not washed with foaming agents for dishes. They part badly with glass and adversely affect the quality of the workpiece. For washing cans, it is better to use baking soda or mustard powder.
• If after seaming in the can “bubbles run”, the lid is badly screwed on. The stock can be scrolled again if the compote has just been closed. If the bubbles are seen after a few hours, then it is better not to risk it. It is wiser to pour the drink into the pot, boil it and drink now.
