Fruit Drink “Kompot”

Kompot is a soft drink substitute for juice, obtained by cooking fruits in a large volume of water. This drink is very popular in Eastern Europe (and in my house), and can be served warm or cold. It’s our all year round preferred drink, but since my kids like to drink kompot very warm I make it more often during cold winter days.

After they drink up the Kompot they love to enjoy the fruit that is left on the bottom of the glass. This Kompot is made from home grown dried apple chips, frozen cherries, and frozen raspberries from our garden. I also use dried pear chips and frozen strawberries harvested from our garden. If you don’t have home grown harvested fruit, don’t worry, the supermarket is the next best thing, so give this delicious drink a try.

Ingredients you will need:

8 Liters – water
12 oz. – frozen raspberries
2 lbs. – frozen cherries
12 oz. – dried apple chips
1 ½ cup – sugar

    I adore kompot and love your version of it (in fact, I am going to make it right now for breakfast). I have a cranberry one on my blog, but my grandma makes kompot out of whatever is available at the time – it really is a wonderfully versatile drink!

    I drank this a lot while I was in Russia and it was my FAVORITE! But I am trying to figure out how they bottled it for months later. I know we’d grab a bottle made months before. How do we bottle it? I remember the boiling and bottling and flipping upside down but I was 12 and cannot remember the steps.
