Cherry and red currant compote is rich in taste, color and aroma. It is better to take dark varieties of cherry berries, but you can also make a compote from white berries, and also mix varieties with each other. It is preferable to cook compote from cherries with pits; they will add an additional light almond flavor to the finished drink. If the berries are sweet, add a little lemon juice to taste. This compote can be preserved for winter storage by pouring it hot into jars.
