How to twist grape compote. Compote from wine (blue) grapes for the winter

Tasty and healthy homemade compotes for the winter are made from a variety of fruits and berries. Today I decided to cook grape compote from black (or blue) grapes. For this blank, I take the Dove or Isabella varieties.

Of these, grape compote always turns out with rich color, pleasant delicate taste. My step-by-step photo recipe will tell you in detail how to quickly, easily and simply prepare a healthy canned drink for the winter.

For a 3 liter jar for harvesting, you also need a glass of sugar and water. Grapes I take such an amount to fill a third of the volume of the jar.

How to close grape compote for the winter

So, I’ll tell you in detail how I prepare grape compote for the winter. Carefully, but carefully, wash the berries. I separate from the branches. I do this carefully so as not to crush the tender grapes.

I boil 2.5 liters of water.

I fill, for example, in the oven a third of a jar of grapes.

I pour boiling water over the berries. First I pour a little, then - to the top. I cover with a clean metal lid. I wait, approximately, 13-15 minutes.

I pour water into a saucepan. To do this, use a plastic cover with holes. I put the pot on the fire.

While the water drained from the grapes comes to a boil, I add sugar to the jar of grapes.

I pour the boiled water back into the jar. It is desirable that the water overflows a little through the neck to the outside. I sterilize the metal lid by boiling and roll up a jar of grape compote. I turn it over and wrap it up, I wait a day.

Now, I send a quick and tasty compote from dark grapes to be stored in a cool place. I always put such homemade blanks in the basement. And in winter, in frosty cold, I offer a very tasty, fragrant, sweet drink with a slight sourness to adults and children. It reminds us all of the warm days of late summer!

Grape fruits of all varieties in the process of heat treatment willingly and quickly give up their juice, so compotes from them are prepared quickly. This allows the drink to maximally absorb and preserve the taste and aroma inherent in grapes, useful substances.

What varieties to choose?

There are so many varieties of grapes that it is difficult to describe everything separately, but according to its taste, it is customary to distinguish 4 groups:

1. fruits with an ordinary taste (dark and light) combine sweetness and acidity in various proportions. Their taste notes are gentle and neutral. In compotes, they are good with berries and fruits of a rich flavor range: quince, strawberries, strawberries, black currants.
2. Muscat-flavoured grapes have playful, piquant flavors that are formed thanks to the essential oils contained in Muscat grape varieties. In compote, such fruits are pleasant in splendid isolation. But if desired, it is quite appropriate to supplement a fragrant bouquet with citrus fruits;
3. grape berries with a nightshade taste smell of freshness, a little grassy, ​​sour. Such fruits, combined with apples and a minimum amount of sugar, are an excellent basis for creating drinks approved by adherents of a healthy lifestyle.
4. grapes with isabelle taste attract with slightly harsh, but still pleasant aromas that combine the smells of strawberries, pineapple, black currants. The fruits of isabelle varieties do not need company. They are considered by many to be the best choice for creating sugary drinks.

Processing before cooking

The best grape compotes are obtained from freshly picked and immediately processed berries. The purchased bunches also need to be prepared as soon as possible and start preparing the drink.

When processing fruits for compote of long-term storage, it is necessary to reject specimens that are crushed, with cracked skins, otherwise it will become moldy. If you brew a drink “for today”, you can close your eyes to slightly crushed fruits.

Any variety of grapes is suitable for canning. The fruits should be firm, fully ripe, with no signs of any disease.

Cooking features

Compotes from grapes can be prepared in any concentration. By reducing the volume of water and increasing the amount of fruits and sugar, you will get a richer and more aromatic drink.

Concentrated compotes are best made in small jars (0.5 - 1 l). This is convenient: so they take up less space. The drink itself can be diluted with warm boiled or mineral water without gas before serving. By adding well-carbonated water and lemon, you can taste excellent natural lemonade. Give him ice, tubes.

The ratio of sugar and water is up to you. But it should depend not only on your taste preferences and love for rationality, but also on the state of health.

Attention! Sweet, concentrated compote is not recommended for overweight people. All grape drinks are contraindicated for those suffering from diabetes, gastric ulcer. A common occurrence is an allergy to grapes (often this is observed in childhood).

Blank storage

Prepared compote can be stored after it has completely cooled at room temperature. Until this time, the jars should be covered with a large towel or blanket.

Turning the containers over, you can see that a substance similar to foam has formed under the lid. This does not threaten the product with anything - in about an hour there will be no trace of it.

In a cool dark place (up to + 15 ° C), grape drink can be stored all winter. If the temperature is higher, then it is better to serve it to the table for the winter holidays.

Compote cannot be stored at sub-zero temperatures.

About the benefits

Grapes are a highly valuable product. First of all, this applies to berries, only taken from the vine. If you want to take all the best from delicious healing berries, prepare freshly squeezed grape juice. You need to cook it quickly: 15 minutes after parting with a live bunch of grapes, they will gradually lose their numerous life-giving vitamins.

The main nutritional value of grapes, which is also responsible for its flavor range, are various fruit sugars, represented by glucose, fructose and sucrose. But unlike beet sugar, which is familiar to us, grape analogues do not undergo significant transformations during digestion, but immediately enter the bloodstream. This property is indispensable for quick recovery and maintaining health.

Healing grape honey

Red grapes are considered healthier than white grapes. It is from it that grape honey is prepared. This wonderful product is valuable for its healing properties and hematopoietic ability.

If you decide to make such a treat, prepare freshly picked dark grape berries. Sugar content should be at least 18%, since sugar is not added to it!

For 1 kg of honey you will need 5 kg of fruit.

Grind them in a meat grinder or knead by hand. Press out. Juice should drain no longer than 3 hours, otherwise fermentation may begin.

Pour the resulting juice into a container, boil at a moderate temperature until thickened. It should take on a dark brown color.

You need to store honey in small glass jars, hermetically sealed with lids. The temperature should not exceed +15 °C. Even a slight excess of the temperature indicator can lead to spoilage of the product.

If a precipitate forms in honey, the spoiled delicacy must be poured into a container, boiled and sealed again.

Collect the grapes in a colander and put it under running water, then let it drain completely and pour the berries into a jar. They should take up about a third of the volume. If your grapes are very sweet varieties, it makes sense to add a couple of lemon slices.

Pour boiling water over a jar of berries to the very top, cover with an inverted lid, hold for ten minutes. Dark grapes can visibly color the water, don't worry, that's how it should be. Drain the water back into the pan, put on heat, let it boil again.

Put aside all the grapes that cause you the slightest suspicion, it is better not to risk compote.

Carefully sterilize the jars, place washed and slightly dried berries in them about a third of the height. Throw a couple of mint leaves, pour sugar on top, dividing it in proportion to the number of jars and their volume.

Boil the water, typing it in advance with a small margin. We lower a long spoon into the jar, quickly pour boiling water over the berries. Do not try to do this with several banks at the same time. Pour boiling water over them and immediately clog one at a time. During the day, soak for cooling, covering the jars with compote with a thick cloth.

Option 3: Simple grape compote in a saucepan

A mixture of different grapes is not a whim of the compilers of the recipe. By combining different varieties, you, firstly, provide a beautiful color to the drink, and, secondly, improve its taste. Compote is very effective if any of the grape varieties in it are muscat.

Ingredients:

• purified water - two liters;
• ninety grams of refined sugar;
• four hundred and fifty grams of assorted grapes - light and dark berries.

How to cook

Put water for compote to boil in a saucepan with a small supply of volume. Rinse the grapes, first just with a stream of water, then separate from the bunches and put in a colander. Dip with it in a bowl of water for a few minutes, then rinse again.

Drain it, separating the berries, divide it into jugs or jars, keep it in the refrigerator for about an hour.

Option 4: "Assorted" - compote of grapes with apples

The requirements for grapes are clearly indicated, but use any apples in a drink. Even a few unripe fruits will do, and it will be even better than putting soft fruits in the compote. Such apples are easily boiled soft and even just boiling water can damage the slices and worsen the appearance of the compote.

Ingredients:

• three hundred grams of grapes of any dark and fragrant variety;
• half-liter jar of white sugar;
• three liters of water;
• two large hard apples.

Using a solution of baking soda, thoroughly wash the jars with it, rinse with clean running water. Sterilize by turning upside down and setting over steam for ten minutes.

Wash the grapes and apples thoroughly, pick the berries from the brushes and carefully inspect, remove all spoiled ones. Break each apple into four slices, while removing the middle. Pour pieces of fruit together with berries interspersed into jars, cover with lids and temporarily set aside.

Pour the specified amount of clean water into the pan, immediately pour sugar into it. Put on a quick heat and, stirring occasionally, let the sugar dissolve completely and the syrup boil. Without removing from heat, using a ladle, pour the syrup into jars in small portions.

Using a special seaming machine, seal the compote tightly with lids. Keep it until it cools completely, turning it upside down and covering it with a blanket.

Option 5: Compote of grapes for the winter with honey, cinnamon and cloves

Although the role of honey in a drink is solely to add sweetness to it, do not be casual in your choice of variety. It may be superfluous to specifically purchase and send rare and exquisite varieties to compote, but honey, in any case, should be natural. It is also possible to use molasses imitating artificial honey, but it does not make sense - such a compote will not differ in taste from that cooked on sugar.

Ingredients:

• four dry cloves;
• a quarter of a spoon of cinnamon powder;
• about three liters of water;
• three kilograms of grapes;
• a quarter cup of lemon juice;
• one and a half kilograms of natural liquid honey.

How to cook

Boil water in a saucepan. Rinse the grape brushes, remove only whole, unspoiled berries from them. Weigh, we need exactly three kilograms. Sterilize the jars and divide the grapes between them. The indicated quantity is calculated for two three-liter bottles.

Dip the cloves and chopped cinnamon into boiling water, after five minutes add and stir the honey, squeeze and pour in the lemon juice. Pour grapes in jars with boiling syrup, let stand for a quarter of an hour, drain and boil again.

After refilling, the jars are quickly rolled up and tightly wrapped in a warm blanket, allowed to cool slowly.

Recipe 6: Grape compote with whole bunches

The beauty of the recipe is not only in the elegant form. If the very fact of the presence of the bottle on the table does not seem strange to your household or guests, rinse it and wipe it dry, open it and put it on a glass dish in this form. You can disassemble the grapes before canning into small brushes, in this form it can be carefully removed from the container with compote and transferred entirely to a decanter. The presence of twigs in the drink makes the drink a little more sugary, so most often they canned whole, brushes of relatively unsweetened grapes.

Ingredients:

• four kilograms of grapes in bunches;
• two three-liter jars;
• two liters of water;
• seven hundred and fifty grams of sugar;
• lemon acid.

Step by step recipe

Rinse the grapes several times and inspect very carefully. Remove all spoiled berries and, if found, be sure to remove the cobwebs. We put the clusters one by one in a colander, scald with boiling water, then carefully transfer them to jars.

From water, lemon and sugar, boil the syrup, pour it equally into the jars. Cover tightly with sterilized lids. Pour a certain amount of heated water into a spacious basin or a low saucepan, lower a wet towel to the bottom. Place a jar filled with grapes and syrup on top, add water “up to the shoulders” of the bottles.

Turn on a moderate fire under the pan, as the water warms up, increase it. After boiling, lower the temperature a little, detect ten minutes, then remove the jars and roll up the lids tightly.

In winter, more than ever, there is a lack of fruit. It is especially difficult for grape lovers at this time. In summer or autumn, you somehow do not pay attention to it at all. He just is, that's all. But with the onset of cold weather, the body begins to miss its former abundance. But there is a great way to help fix everything. You just need not to be too lazy in the fall and prepare for the winter. Without sterilization, this will not be difficult at all.

Quick preparations

Grape compote is the easiest preservation option. It needs only two things: dishes and food. Seaming is best done in three-liter jars under metal lids. Such a volume can be considered optimal. Of the products for work, you will need (based on one jar): 3 liters of water, 200 grams of sugar, ½ teaspoon of "lemon" and grapes.

Work begins with the preparation of dishes:

1. Banks must be thoroughly washed with soda and rinsed well under running hot water. Boil the lids separately.
2. Pick the berries from the branches, rinse and arrange in prepared jars, filling them by about one third.
3. Boil water in a separate container, and then pour it into jars with grapes to the top and leave in this position for 8-10 minutes.
4. After the time has elapsed, the water from the cans must be drained into a clean pan and add sugar to it. Bring the mixture to a boil and heat up a little. During this time, the sugar should completely dissolve.
5. Pour citric acid into jars with grapes, pour the prepared hot syrup and immediately roll up.

This is how you can prepare compote from grapes for the winter without much effort. Without sterilization, it can perfectly stand even for more than one year.

You need to do everything like this:

1. Wash glass jars thoroughly and rinse.
2. Boil syrup. To do this, for 3 liters of water you need to take 300-320 grams of sugar. The total weight will depend on the number of cans.
3. Remove the grapes from the brushes, sort, rinse under running water and put in prepared jars.
4. Pour them with fresh, still boiling syrup and immediately roll up.

Compote with a spicy aroma

Before you take on any business, you need to thoroughly study it. To begin with, it is worth noting that there is a thing that should be known to those who decide to make compote from grapes for the winter: the recipe without sterilization is not the only one. There are many different options. For example, you can slightly change the taste of the finished product and give it an additional flavor. To do this, you need to reconsider the composition of the syrup. It would be nice to make it more saturated against the general background of the delicate taste of berries. In this case, for preservation, you will need: for 3 kilograms of grapes - one and a half kilograms of honey, a teaspoon of cinnamon, half a liter of vinegar 4% and 5 sprigs of cloves.

Such a compote is prepared, as usual:

1. Place washed berries in prepared jars.
2. Prepare syrup from the remaining products according to the recipe and pour it into jars while still hot.
3. Seal each jar tightly, wrap in a blanket and leave to cool.

An unusual combination of spices against the backdrop of a delicate taste of grapes and a pronounced honey aroma will do its job. Such a compote will not stagnate for a long time on the shelf.

Compote gradually not only darkens, but also becomes thicker. And lovers of grapes will definitely appreciate its rich taste and delicate aroma.

Here the process is already being carried out a little differently:

1. Washed grapes should be decomposed into 3 three-liter jars.
2. Pour the contents of the cans with ordinary raw water, but not to the top. The liquid should only reach the "shoulders" of the container.
3. Pour an equal amount of sugar into each jar.
4. Now you need to proceed directly to cooking compote. To do this, put each jar in a wide saucepan filled with water, at the bottom of which a soft cloth is neatly laid. It looks like a water bath. The cooking process lasts about half an hour after the water boils.

The finished product can be rolled up and sent to cool, carefully wrapped in a warm blanket. In this form, it should stand for at least a day. During this time, the drink will infuse well and change color.

Fast track

There is a situation when you need to preserve a large number of grapes, but there is absolutely no time for this. For such a case, there is a completely unique method by which compotes are preserved. Compote from grapes for the winter can be prepared in a matter of minutes. The following ingredients will be required: based on 7 liter jars, 2 kilograms of black grapes, 0.5 kilograms of sugar and 4 liters of water are needed.

The cooking sequence is as follows:

1. First, the jars must be washed, boiled, and then dried well.
2. Remove the grapes from the branches, carefully sort and rinse.
3. Put the berries in hot jars, add sugar and pour boiling water over everything. For flavor, you can add a little cloves, cinnamon or mint.
4. After that, immediately cover the jars with lids and immediately roll them up. Turn each jar upside down and wrap tightly.

After cooling, such a compote is perfectly stored for a year in a cool place.
