The apple compote itself is not very original, but if you add oranges to it, this is a completely different story.
Citrus fruits add spice and freshness to the compote.
Stewed apples and oranges - general principles of preparation
Compote apples are picked without wormholes and damage. The fruit is well washed, core removed and cut into slices or cubes. Oranges are poured with boiling water, wiped and chopped with not too thin slices. The peel of an orange can be removed, or used without peeling.
A bowl of water is placed on the stove. As soon as it boils, add sugar and cook, stirring, until it dissolves. Then fruits and citrus fruits are laid in syrup. Compote is cooked for another two minutes. Turn off the fire and leave for 20 minutes to insist under the lid.
If the compote is harvested for the winter, fruits and oranges are laid in a jar and poured with boiling syrup. When the contents become warm, the liquid is drained, boiled and again poured into jars. The procedure is repeated three times, after which it is hermetically rolled up.
