Cherry compote is one of the most delicious, beloved and sought after of all this kind of preparations for the winter. Both adults and children love him equally. It turns out like two in one, first you drink the cherry juice itself, and then you can enjoy the cherries themselves.
And what could be better and tastier than such compote, prepared with your own hands? When I open a jar for some holiday, and there is any store-bought juice on the table of drinks, and then, of course, the homemade one runs out first. And you always have to get both the second and third cans out of the basement. That's why I stock up on it as much as possible.
And it attracts primarily with its taste, beautiful rich dark ruby color and, of course, aroma.
It can be prepared in different ways. Today we will look at the simplest recipes, without sterilization. Such preparations are made quickly enough, are stored well, and most importantly, they are very tasty.
We will need (calculation is given for one three-liter jar):
- cherry -500 gr
- sugar - 300 gr
- water -2.5 liters
Preparation:
1. Sort the cherries, removing overripe, spoiled and bird-pecked fruits. Rinse thoroughly, removing all debris. Place on a towel to drain the water from the fruit.
2. Wash and sterilize jars. There are different ways to do this. Can be sterilized over steam. To do this, pour water into a saucepan, place a colander on it, and place the jar in it, neck down. The water will boil and the jar will be exposed to steam. It is believed that if the outside of the jar is hot when you touch it, then it is ready for canning.
You can pour 1/3 of the boiling water into the jar. Let the water sit for 15 minutes and then drain. To prevent the jar from bursting, place a tablespoon in it and pour boiling water in small portions through the spoon.
You can sterilize jars by placing them in the oven.
3. Prepare the lids, and we will use metal lids that are screwed on using a seaming machine. We also wash them, then place them in a saucepan with water. Bring the water to a boil and boil the lids for 10 minutes.
4. Pour cherries into the prepared jars. It takes approximately 500 grams per jar. But, in order not to weigh it every time, you can use a glass as a measure. You will need 3 cups per jar. Or you can make it even simpler, just pour 1/3 of the cherries into each jar.
5. Boil water. We will need approximately 2.5 liters for each jar. It is best to use spring water, or, in extreme cases, filtered water.
6. Fill the cherries with water to the very edge, cover with a lid. Leave to infuse for 15 minutes.
7. Then pour the water into the pan using a lid with holes.
8. Pour sugar into the pan at the rate of 300 grams per jar. Boil.
9. Pour the resulting syrup into the jar so that when you close it with a metal lid, some of the syrup drains out. This way we will be sure that there is no air left in the jar.
10. Close the jar using a seaming machine.
11. Turn the jar upside down and cover with a blanket.
12. Maintain in this position for one or two days. Natural sterilization will occur under the blanket. In addition, if the jar is not closed tightly, we will see in time that it is leaking. Such a jar should be opened, pour the contents along with the fruits into a saucepan, boil for 10 minutes, pour it back into the jar and screw it on again. Or just have a drink.
13. Then turn the jars over and leave for observation for 2-3 weeks. During this time, and for the entire storage period, the lid should not be lifted. If this happens, it should be thrown out.
Cherry compotes are distinguished by the fact that they are quite “not capricious” compared to other fruits. And because of this, they almost never “explode” and their lids do not rise. Maybe that’s also why they love to prepare them.
This is perhaps the easiest way to prepare it. But there is another simple recipe, according to which we prepared this method. This method is also applicable for today’s topic. Let's remember him.
How to make cherry compote without sterilization
- cherry – 500 gr
- sugar - 300 gr
- water - 2.5 liters
Preparation:
1. In the same way as in the previous recipe, prepare cherries and jars.
2. Pour 1/3 of the cherries into the prepared jars.
3. Boil water.
4. Pour in water so that only the cherry is covered; there is no need to completely fill the jar with water. Leave to infuse for 10 minutes. During this time, the cherries and the jar will warm up.
5. After 10 minutes, pour the water into the pan. And boil it again.
6. Pour sugar into a jar, pour boiling water again to 1/3 part. Let stand for 15 minutes. During this time, some of the sugar will disperse.
7. Meanwhile, boil more water.
8. Fill it to the very top, so that when you cover it with a lid, some of the syrup drains out. This way we will be absolutely sure that there is no air left in the jar. An additional portion of boiling water will completely dissolve all the sugar.
9. Cover with a lid and tighten immediately.
10. Turn the jars over and place under a blanket until they cool completely.
11. Then turn over and leave for observation for 2-3 weeks.

“Assorted” cherries with apples - recipe without sterilization
Such compotes are good to make with not very large, early-ripening apples that ripen at the same time as cherries. As a rule, there are so many of them that you don’t have time to process them. And sometimes, when they have a big harvest, you don’t even know what else you can do with them.

- cherries - 2 cups
- apples - 7-8 medium-sized
- sugar - 350 gr
- water - 2.5 liters
Preparation:
1. Sort and wash the cherries. Wash the apples. Cut large apples into two or four parts, removing the core and seeds. Small apples do not need to be cut and left whole.

3. Add sugar and let it boil.
4. Add cherries and let it boil. Cook for 5 minutes.
5. Add apples. Also let it boil. If the apples are whole, they will most likely remain whole. But if they are cut, and the apple variety is crumbly, then the pieces will immediately begin to crumble. In principle, nothing bad will happen from this. It’s just that the compote itself will turn out more rich, with particles of applesauce.
6. Cook after boiling for 10 minutes.
7. First place apples and cherries in prepared jars, distributing them evenly among all jars. Then pour in the cherry-apple syrup, the aroma of which spread not only throughout the kitchen, but even seeped out onto the street.

9. Screw on the lids using a seaming machine.
10. Turn the jars over and cover with a blanket until they cool completely.
