Detailed step -by -step recipe with photo: Step 1
-
Prepare all the ingredients for compote made of prunes and dried apricots.
By and large, these two dried fruits are the main ingredients. They, in my opinion, are not replaced. But all other additives are to taste and presence.
-
Step 2
Soak prunes and dried apricots for 15 minutes in boiled water.
My apples, dried personally by me, were stored in a sealed container. I just get them and straight into the pan.
You need to soak dried fruits so that they are slightly, very slightly swollen and dust is washed out of the folds. Also, if they were sprayed with something, then this will be washed off.

Lemon can be replaced with orange.
