Agree, they have an unsurpassed aroma and pronounced taste! Therefore, compote from them turns out to be simply magical, refreshing with a pleasant sourness, which everyone who has tried it likes. By the way, if you follow the figure, feel free to reduce the amount of sugar, especially since the long-term storage of the drink is not provided for by the recipe.
