Compotes and decoctions (recipes)

So you can also cook compote in a multicooker?
Wow.........
How do you do it?

Yes, easily. Put all fruits as in a simple compote, plus sugar, plus water, but not above the last mark. Steamed program. Turn on 10 minutes and when the countdown starts, look in there and track for the first time how long it will take for it to boil for a couple of minutes. And next time you can do everything automatically. I cooked with fresh fruit in the summer, it seems to me that it boiled faster, but I did not detect it on purpose. And today I cooked it with frozen ones and set it for 4 minutes, but it did not boil during this time. With fresh berries, so that there are more vitamins left, it is better to first boil the water with sugar, and then lower the berries and let them boil for a couple of minutes.

What mode do you cook?

Today I made a compote from frozen fruits. I poured frozen berries, sprinkled with sugar, poured cold water, mixed. It turned out two divisions below the uppermost scale (gave space for defrosting). Extinguishing mode for 1 hour.
As you know, in the extinguishing mode, the water does not boil, but languishes at high temperatures.
Compote came out awesome! And the fruits that usually turn into porridge are one into one juicy berries!
Now I will cook compotes this way

Kitten , and even more than compotes, I like to make a rosehip decoction in a cartoon, for example.

Pour boiling water over the frozen berries and steam for 10 minutes.

Boo Boo that is, you have them go through the boiling stage, it turns out ... Although it turns out faster.
Try my version. It is interesting to compare the result
Compote comes out unambiguously, but berries come out differently with different preparation.

I forgot to say that after cooking, I leave the compote to brew until it cools naturally.

Qween it turns out to be brewed and insisted? What mode are you doing?

Kitten, I brew the rose hips like this:
First - "Steam cooking" - 1 minute
Then - "Warm up" for 2 hours, and leave to cool until morning.
I do not grind the fruits - I once learned that the small villi contained inside the fruit negatively affect the intestinal walls, and therefore it is impossible to grind the rose hips. I cannot verify this, therefore, I do not grind it.

When I hadn’t bought the cartoon yet, I brewed the rose hips in a thermos - I also read that it’s more useful than boiling.

I cook compote like Boo Boo, on "Steam cooking", only 2 minutes.

I used to cook for 2 minutes too, and then I noticed that if the water is right under the lid, then the compote does not have time to boil.

Today I made a compote from frozen fruits.

Thanks a lot for the recipe!
Cooked from frozen strawberries, the compote turned out superb !!!

Hello!
Did anyone try to cook it from dried fruits?

Yes, the technology of cooking from dried fruits is the same as from fresh or frozen berries. STEAM BOILING mode 15 minutes, after the signal turn off and leave under the lid to brew for a couple of hours.

[slow cooker]

Girls, and I cook dried fruit compote in slow cooker! It's just that dried fruits are filled with water, and on High mode. You don't need sugar at all, you get a classic compote. very simple and without sugar, but the taste is sweet enough from fruit.

I don't open anything new, but I found that the most delicious dried fruit compote (2 types of raisins: sour and sweet, sugar dried apricots, rose hips, zest, apples, no sugar!) Is obtained in the Stew mode for 1.5 - 2 hours, followed by cooling in closed multi for about 10 hours. In the evening I put to stew, and in the morning we sip a warm, infused compote. : ok: If it were not for the eight-month-old daughter, I would not have been looking for the most delicious method of making compote, but now I know it!

Girls, who can tell you the proportions (fruit-water) for dried fruit compote? Are there any generally accepted (classic) proportions?

Today I made fresh fruit compote. I cut the apples into slices, added a handful of red currants, honey (everything to taste), poured cold water to the maximum mark and on the Porridge mode for 1 hour (in Supra, this mode replaces stewing). 10 minutes before the end - dried ginger, cinnamon, black peppercorns. Well, a very tasty drink !!!

I cook 300g of dried fruits in 3 liters of water. If all the fruits are sour, add 2-3 hours. l. Sahara
