Ingredients based on 2 cans of 2 liters:
Grapes - 600 grams;
Sugar - 160-200 grams;
Water - 3.5 liters;
Citric acid - 2 tsp.
Recipe:
The first thing you need to decide how you want to close the grapes. This can be done in two ways - only berries or whole brushes. The latter option is more suitable for three-liter jars.
Citric acid in conservation is required, it acts as a preservative. It can be replaced by a few slices of lemon - 1-2 per jar is enough.
In addition, you can improve the taste (or diversify it) add cinnamon, cloves, anise.
Before conservation, banks do not need to be sterilized, since we will use a double fill. But if you can’t do seaming without preparing the jars, we suggest that you sterilize them in a multicooker. Pour water to the lower mark in the multicooker bowl. Place the steaming bowl, put the jars on it. Choose mode - stew or steamed. Sterilize the jars for 10 minutes. After put them down the neck on a towel.
Put grapes (or brushes) in prepared jars.
Fill cans with boiling water. Do this carefully so that the jar does not break (although after sterilization, the probability of this is very small).
We leave the cans for 15 minutes so that they can be sterilized. The color of the compote is absent at this stage (even if you use dark grape varieties).
After 15 minutes, pour the water into the pan. Add sugar and citric acid. Put the pot on the fire and bring to a boil. Taste the syrup, if you are not sweet, add more sugar.
Fill the jars a second time and immediately roll them up with the prepared lids. Banks wrap to complete cooling old blanket. If you took only dark grapes, after cooling the compote will be a rich color. White grapes will not give color.
