For all lovers of apple kampotik, we decided to surprise you and presented you with another recipe for a delicious compote of apples and oranges.
Compote made from apples is often enjoyed by both adults and children due to its moderate sweetness. I also often prepare this compote, but at the same time I add to it, in addition to apples, a few circles of orange, which increases the palette of taste of this drink, makes it unusual and colorful.
Oranges do not prevail in such a compote, they only complement the apple flavor, giving it greater saturation.
For making compote according to this recipe, it is better to choose sweet strong apples. Preparing it is quite simple, because even sterilization is not required. Pamper your loved ones with this compote in winter. I'm sure they will be pleased.
To get 1 liter jar of compote, you will need:
- 180 g of prepared apples;
- 2 cups of orange;
- 1.5 - 2 tablespoons of sugar;
- 850 ml of water.
Let's start cooking apple compote with orange
Oranges must be thoroughly washed and cut into circles, the thickness of which will be approximately 0.5 cm. Next, each circle should be cut in half.
Wash the apples well and cut each of them into 4 parts, cutting out the core. Based on the size of the apple, cut each resulting quarter into 3-5 more pieces. Now ready apples need to be weighed.
Banks are pasteurized in advance. In a pasteurized jar we put apples and pieces of orange according to the indicated proportions.
Pour boiling water over the jar with the ingredients laid in it to the very top.
Then we cover the jar with boiled lids and wrap it in a blanket for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, drain the water from the jar into the pan and put the pan to boil. We cover the jars with the remaining contents with lids and put them back in the blanket so that they do not cool down.
After the water in the pan boils, pour boiling water into the jar, cover with a lid and put it back in the blanket for 15 minutes.
Then we once again pour the water from the cans into the pan, add sugar to the water and put it on a boil. Jars with apples and oranges, covered with lids, put in a blanket. After boiling, the syrup should be, stirring, cook for 2-3 minutes, so that the sugar is completely dispersed.
Pour boiling syrup into jars with apples and roll up (screw) the lids.
We put the rolled jars on the lids, wrap them in a blanket, in which the jars should then be kept until completely cooled. Compote during the winter can be stored at room temperature, but the place of its storage should be dark.
Several useful tips hostesses:
Use a special lid with holes for easy draining of water from cans. This will allow you not to worry that the contents of your jar may fall out when draining.
You can change the amount of sugar put into the compote according to your taste, as well as regarding the sweetness of the apples you took for the compote.
Apples of sweet varieties retain their appearance much better, while more sour apples, such as Antonovka, are likely to spread during storage.
Apples of any color are suitable for compote: yellow, red, green. Also, at your discretion, you can use apples of different colors at the same time, which will add color to your creation.
Enjoy your meal!!!
By itself, apple compote is not particularly original, but if oranges are added to it, this is a completely different story.

Tips and Tricks for Making Apple and Orange Compote
Often in apples, especially small ones, worms can hide. The same problem, by the way, affects cherries and plums. If you plan to use the whole fruit, then you can remove the pests in a simple way. Fruits or berries should be placed in salt water for an hour. The larvae will definitely come out.
Apple compote usually does not have a pronounced color. A small amount of orange will only give it a slightly orange tint. But bright berries like plums, chokeberries, currants will strongly color both the drink and the apples in it.
If a compote is made from apples and oranges for future use with a double filling, some of the sugar may remain undissolved. It's not scary. You just need to put the jar on its side and gently roll it. Then clean in heat. In general, it is recommended to do this with any preservation for better distribution of substances.
