The first step is to thoroughly rinse the dried fruits. If there is a lot of garbage in your dried fruits, then be sure to soak them for 15-20 minutes before rinsing.
This is done in order to easily get rid of sand and debris that accumulates in the folds of dried fruits and berries during the drying process.

Next, pour dried fruit in a saucepan at a rate of 1:10 - to a glass of dried fruit 10 glasses of water - and put on fire.

It makes no sense to add dried fruits to boiling water, just at the beginning of cooking choose an intense fire mode, and when the boil starts, reduce the heat.
Cook for 25-30 minutes.
Step 4
In order not to make the compote too sweet or vice versa, sugar should be added at the end of cooking, when the main taste and sweetness from dried fruits are completely transferred to water. In any case, sugar is added to taste, as anyone loves.
For 5 liters of compote, we added half a glass of sugar. In order not to make a mistake, add sugar with spoons and mix and check the taste after each spoon.
Step 5
After adding sugar, cook for another 5 minutes. Then remove from the fire, and it is better to turn off the fire so as not to burn))). If you decide to add spices, add and close the pan with a lid.
Under a closed lid, dried fruit compote should be infused for at least 30-40 minutes.
To get a transparent compote, it must be filtered. You can not filter and use, both hot in circles and in cold form.
