Sort through the grapes and other fruits you will be using. Remove any spoiled ones, and rinse the rest well under running water. Remove the grapes from the stems if the recipe does not require them.

All compotes are designed for three-liter jars. Water for them will need 2-2½ liters.

The amount of sugar can be varied depending on the acidity or sweetness of the grapes.

If you want to make more or less drink, change the amount of all ingredients proportionally.

Use sterilized jars and lids for canning. Until completely cooled, keep the compote warm, for example, wrap it in a blanket or blanket. Keep refrigerated afterwards.
