Simple Cherry Compote

Clean and wash the cherries. Put them in a pot, add sugar, and pour water over them. My pot is 7 liters and was filled with cherries. I used 350g of granulated sugar, but everyone can add to taste. Water should only fill up to 3/4 of the pot, not full, because cherries will release their own juice. Bring it slowly to a boil. The cherries need to be stirred frequently, but stir gently, always from the bottom up. If you have a large pot, the cherries at the bottom will start to cook faster and therefore need to be stirred more often. All the cherries need to be completely heated through and change their color. In this process, we actually do not "cook" the cherries, but just bring them to a boil. The main thing is that all the cherries are heated through, and that the water (juice) begins to slowly bubble. Finally, put such ready cherries into canning jars. Turn the bottles upside down and let them completely cool. There is no need to sterilize, I've never had anything go bad.

All we have left to do is store the compote in the pantry and wait for winter to come :-) Enjoy your meal!

Add cherries and sugar to taste * canning jars and lids must be undamaged * for checking, leave the compote in the kitchen on the table for 3-4 days for observation
