How much sugar is there for 3 liters of compote?
Reading time - 5 minutes.
The amount of sugar that is added to the compote always depends on the sweetness of the fruits and berries themselves. Therefore, before cooking compote, always taste the ingredients. There is nothing more offensive than rolling up syrup in three-liter jars, which will be sugary, but without a delicious reminder of summer. If the berries are sweet on their own, put less sugar - 12-15 tablespoons in a 3 liter jar. This is quite enough to make a not sugary refreshing workpiece. There is also a generally accepted minimum - 10 tablespoons of sugar per 3 liter can. If you want not to add sugar at all, then you should add citric acid, and sterilize the cans with compote. Sour fruits (apples, red currants, apricots, etc.) can be rolled into compote by simply sterilizing. It turns out not very logical: the more sour the fruits, the less they need sugar. So keep to a minimum or take extra effort to harvest.
Compote in liter jars is boiled less often - for dessert, when the jar is filled to the brim with fruits and berries, and filled with syrup. In this case, make the syrup thicker than for drinking compote: for a jar filled to the brim with berries / fruits, at least 7 tablespoons of sugar.
