- 100 grams strawberries
- 100 grams blueberries
- 200 grams sugar
- 2 liters water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 piece cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Rinse all fruit under cold running water. Peel, core, and chop the apples and pears into bite-sized pieces.
Hull the strawberries and rinse the blueberries.
In a large pot, combine the chopped apples, pears, strawberries, and blueberries.
Add 2 liters of water to the pot and set it on the stove over medium-high heat.
Stir in 200 grams of sugar and add the cinnamon stick.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes.
Occasionally stir and mash some of the fruit to release their flavors into the water.
After 30 minutes, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Let the kompot cool down to room temperature. You can also serve it warm or transfer it to the refrigerator to chill.
Strain the liquid into a pitcher using a fine sieve or cheesecloth to remove the fruit pieces, if desired.
Serve the kompot chilled or over ice during summer, or warm as a cozy winter beverage.
