Kupiti veću količinu višanja, sada im je sezona. Izbor je odličan, a cena prihvatljiva. Jednostavno, napravite nekoliko tegli kompota.
Preostale višnje oprati, očistiti od koštica, zamrznuti, pa po potrebi praviti kompot u manjim količinama. Bepotrebno je potrošiti puno energije, vremena na pravljenje velikih količina.
Postoje mnogi recepti. Ja se držim ovog lakog, brzog i proverenog. Slobodno eksperimentišite sa aromama - malo limunovog soka, kora limuna/pomorandže, šipka vanile, štapić cimeta, rum, višnjevača, crveno vino, karanfilić.
Kupiti lepe, zrele višnje. Oprati ih, ocediti, povaditi koštice. Nekoliko tegli od 750ml sa metalnim zatvaračima dobro oprati, osušiti. Tegle napuniti voćem skoro do vrha, u svaku staviti 6 kašika secera (odozgo, preko voća) i naliti hladnom vodom tako da prekrije voce. Ukoliko planirate da dodate neki začin ili alkohol (količinu prilagoditi ukusu), uradite to pre nego što nalijete voće vodom. Tegle čvrsto zatvoriti metalnim poklopcima koji su prethodno dezinfikovani sa malo alkohola. U dublji lonac staviti na dno platnenu krpu (služi da spreči lomljenje tokom kuvanja). Preko krpe poređati tegle sa voćem, paziti da se ne dodiruju. Sipati hladnu ili mlaku vodu da potpuno prekrije tegle bar za 1cm. Kada voda provri, kuvati samo 5 minuta. Iz lonca pažljivo odliti deo vode, pomoću krpe izvaditi tegle, ostaviti na sobnoj temperaturi do sutradan, da se polako ohlade. Ohlađen kompot odložiti u špajz, na mračno, suvo i hladno mesto, ili u frižider. Ako na dnu tegle ostane malo nerastvorenog šećera, to je potpuno u redu, rastvoriće se za dan-dva. Kompot pripremljen na ovaj način je ukusan, potpuno prirodan, bez dodatka konzervansa, vrlo lepo se održi i do godinu dana. Na isti način može se napraviti kompot od trešanja, kajsija, bresaka, krušaka. Prilagoditi količinu šećera u zavisnosti od toga koliko je voće slatko.
Sastojci: višnje/drugo voće (količina po izboru), po 6 kašika šećera za svaku teglu od 750ml, arome (nije obavezno).
Simple sour cherry compote
Summer is the right time to cook sour cherry compote. Chilled compote is quick and easy sweet treat, although can be used in many ways: over ice cream, rice pudding, custard, for the preparation of sweet sauces, cookies or cakes... You can even serve it as a side dish that goes well with pork. Great combination!
Sour cherries are in season, which means good choice and price. Simply make a few jars of compote. Wash the remaining cherries, pit, freeze and use frozen to make small quantities of compote when needed.
There are many ways to make cherry compote, but this one, simple and proven, is my choice. Feel free to experiment with flavors - lemon juice, lemon/orange zest, vanilla bean, cinnamon stick, rum, cherry brandy, red wine, cloves.
Buy beautiful, ripe cherries. Wash them, drain, pit. Prepare few glass jars of 750ml with metal lid, thoroughly washed and dried. Fill the jars with sour cherries almost to the top. Sprinkle the fruit with 6 tablespoons of sugar per jar, pour cold water to cover the cherries. If you plan to add some spice or alcohol (amount adjusted to taste), do it before you fill the jar with water. Close the jars tightly with metal lid, that have previously been disinfected with a little alcohol. Line the bottom of a large pot with clean tea towel to prevent cracking during cooking, put the the jars with fruit, take care not to touch. Pour cold or lukewarm water to completely cover the jars by at least 1cm. When the water boils, cook for 5 minutes. Carefully pour out some water off the pot, use dry tea towel to remove the jars and leave at room temperature to cool slowly over night. Cooled compote should be stored in a dry, dark and cold place or in the fridge. If on the bottom of the jar remains a bit undissolved sugar, it's fine, it would dissolve in a day or two. Compote prepared this way is delicious, all-natural, preservatives free, won't spoil up to a year. The same way, you can make a compote of cherries, apricots, peaches, pears. Feel free to adjust the sugar according to the sweetness of the fruit.
Ingredients: sour cherries/other fruit (the amount of your choice), 6 tablespoons of sugar per jar of 750ml, flavoring (optionally).
