How much water and how much fruit: how to calculate the right proportions for making a tasty and rich compote
Compote made from apples is considered one of the healthiest, because it contains a large amount of vitamin C, which is good for the immune system, as well as dietary fiber, which is necessary for the functioning of the digestive system.
To make a tasty and, as we have already figured out, healthy drink, prepare the following ingredients:
- 750 g apples (about 3 pieces);
- 1.2 l of water;
- 2 tablespoons sugar.
The apples should be washed and then cut into pieces, removing the core.
Now take a saucepan of a suitable size, pour 6 cups of water into it and put it on the fire. When the liquid boils, throw the apples into the pan and reduce the flame to medium.
After 1-2 minutes, add sugar and continue cooking the compote for no more than 5 minutes.
All that remains is to cool the drink and you can enjoy its amazing taste.
It was, as they say, a ready-made recipe – take it and do it. But that’s not why we gathered here: our goal is to find out how much fruit you need to put in compote so that it tastes good.
So, if you decide to prepare the drink, deviating from the recipe, follow these instructions: for 3 liters of water you need 200 g of dried fruit or 300 g of fresh fruit.
