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

Instructions:

1. Pour water into large pot. Add dried apple chips, frozen cherries and raspberries and sugar.

2. Place pot on the stove. Cook it high stirring constantly only until sugar dissolves, then stir it from time to time.

3. Bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

4. Remove from the stove and let it cool. The fruit will sink to the bottom of the pot after cools.

After some time spent outside sledding down the hill in our back yard kids really enjoy this drink.
