About this recipe
Cherry and apple kompot combines tart cherries with the gentler sweetness of apples. Cherries give the drink its color and bold fruit flavor, while apples round it out without the need for much added sugar. A small piece of cinnamon stick adds a delicate warm-spice aroma. Simmer the apples briefly before adding the cherries so both fruits flavor the drink without falling apart completely.
Ingredients
300 g cherries
2 apples
1.5 liters water
1 tablespoon sugar
a small piece of cinnamon stick
Steps
Wash and pit the sour cherries if you want to serve the fruit drink with its fruit. If you leave the pits in, plan to strain the drink. Wash and core the apples and cut into larger wedges.
Bring the water to a boil with the sugar and piece of cinnamon stick. Add the apples first, then add the cherries after 2–3 minutes.
Simmer over low heat for 10–12 minutes, until the cherries color the water and the apples soften without completely breaking down. If needed, stir gently just once.
Take the pot off the heat and leave for a few minutes. If the cherries were pitted, serve the fruit drink with the fruit or strain it. If the pits were left in, strain the drink before pouring into glasses.
