Cornelian compote for me is the taste of childhood. I remember how in the summer we rested with "hares" on the Black Sea coast, and my mother gave me such compote to drink. Until now, the fresh, sour and slightly tart taste of dogwood awakens in me a feeling of peace and happiness. If you live in a region where dogwood grows or you can buy it, be sure to take yourself a kilogram or two to cover the dogwood compote for the winter.

Rinse the dogwood berries, remove the crushed or spoiled fruits. We put the berries in pre-warmed sterile jars. To make the taste of the compote rich, fill the cans by about a third.

Pour sugar into each jar. Depending on your preferences, put sugar on a three-liter jar from 100 to 200 g. The same is true with a liter container - from 3 to 5 tablespoons of sugar per jar. I don't really like sugary drinks, so I keep it to a minimum - half a glass, which is about 100 grams.

We wrap jars with cornel compote and leave for a day to allow it to cool completely.

When the dogwood compote is infused, it acquires a very beautiful rich ruby color. You can store such a compote for a year in a cool, dark place: a pantry, basement or cellar.
