Blackcurrant compote

Cookinero 27 Feb 2025

Blackcurrant compote is a quick, tasty and healthy drink. It is especially good to cook it from home-grown currants. Making compote from currant berries is very simple: you need to boil water in a saucepan, add berries, sugar - and the currant compote is ready. Determine the amount of sugar or honey in the drink to your taste. You can drink the drink both hot and chilled.
