Why You’ll Love Cherry 🍒 Juice
I grew up enjoying cold glasses of kompot, which my family made from the many fruit trees on our property. Kompot is a staple in Eastern Europe; enjoyed chilled from the refrigerator on warm days or served hot for a winter pick-me-up. When canned and stored properly, kompot can last on pantry shelves well into winter, giving you a taste of summer on a dreary cold day.
How to Prepare Cherry Juice
🧃This incredible beverage can be produced using two different methods: boiling, straining, and chilling, or marinating fresh fruit in sugar water. Whichever method you choose, this is a delicious way to savor summer fruits and create a refreshing drink that everyone will love. 🍏The sweetness and potency of the fruitiness is completely up to you: you can always add less or more sugar or fruit, or you can reduce the concentration by cutting the kompot with extra water when serving. 🍒Don’t throw out the leftover, mushy fruit from your kompot! After straining the leftover fruit, blend it into a thick fruit puree and then use in pancakes, smoothies, spread on toast, and more.
Variations and Substitutions
Customizing this healthy cherry juice is not only easy but also a fun way to explore different flavors and adapt the recipe to your preferences. From swapping fruits to experimenting with different fruits or spices there are numerous variations and substitutions to make this refreshing beverage uniquely your own.
Instead of just cherries and plums, you can substitute a combination of various fruits like, pears, peaches, or berries. Enhance the flavor with a cinnamon stick or a splash of vanilla extract for a warm and comforting note. Add fresh mint 🍃 leaves. Fresh ginger slices can give your Compote a spicy kick.
