Homestyle Strawberry Mango Juice Kompot Recipes

QUICK STRAWBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Rinse the strawberries , pat them dry, and then hull the fruit . To do this, insert a knife at an angle under the leaf cap and then twist to cut out the leaves and white core underneath. Discard the tip and repeat the process with all the berries. Cut very large berries in half or quarters; leave smaller berries whole.
• Place the berries in a saucepan. Add the sugar and juice or water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the strawberries are all soft and just starting to fall apart and the liquid thickens, between 5 to 10 minutes.
• Taste, and add more sugar if necessary. The compote will thicken a little while it cools off, but if you think it's too thin, mix 1 tablespoon of water with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and add it to the saucepan. If using frozen fruit, you might need a little more cornstarch. Stir well and remove from heat.
• Let the compote cool off completely. Transfer to a clean pint jar and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

HOMESTYLE STRAWBERRY MANGO JUICE (KOMPOT)

Steps:

• Fill half of stock pot with lid. (You can also use a smaller pot, just use less fruit and sugar.)
• Wash all fruit. Slice tops off strawberries. Cut strawberries in half and put in pot. If some strawberries are small, just put them in whole.
• Peel mango, slice into quarters and add to pot. Cut orange into slices; add about 3 slices (with peel on) to the pot. Stir. Cover and bring to a slow boil.
• Add sugar. Cover and lower to a simmer. Let simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add mint leaves (optional! I just have a bunch in my garden so I added them).
• At this point, strawberries should be losing their color and the mango should be pretty shredded and dissolved looking. Taste the juice. Add sugar if its too tart. Add water if its too sweet. Cover and simmer 15 more minutes.
• Take pot off stove and put in a place where it can cool. Let cool mostly before serving, although some like to drink this warm / hot.
• If you like pulp, the pulp will be resting at the bottom. I do like to save the pulp for my juice, but if you don't, use a strainer to separate juice from pulp.
• Store juice in fridge in an empty juice bottle or airtight pitcher. It will be good for about 5-7 days in the fridge.
