Few of us saw quince trees. These fruit plants grow mainly in the east of Russia and in the Caucasus, there is even a version about finding their historical homeland there. This valuable breed of trees has gained popularity not only in cooking, but also in medical nutrition. So, compote from quince is extremely useful for various diseases of the intestines, respiratory tract, asthma and anemia. The reason for this is the many useful properties of its pulp. Quince is saturated with vitamins A, B, E, PP and C, potassium, malic and citric acids, as well as pectin substances. If you regularly eat compote from quince or any other dish from it, you will notice how your mood improves, and immunity also increases. Application in cosmetics, and found her seeds, which secrete mucus, and their aqueous solutions in the form of lotions for the eyes against fatigue and to strengthen hair.
Preparation of fruits
The fruits of quince outwardly resemble pears, they have a dense consistency and have a hard yellow skin. Therefore, the compote of quince, if the fruit is not previously cleaned, will be cooked somewhat longer, but it will be much more saturated both in taste and in the utility of the final product. For its preparation, we need about 1 kg of fruit, 3 liters of pure water and 1 glass of sugar with a slide. In fact, quince is extremely capricious about caring for it and meteorological conditions. Therefore, it will be much better if you ripen the fruit immediately before preparing compote. In addition, they have a felt coating, so you will not only need to wash the quince under running water, but also rub it with a stiff brush. So, to prepare the compote from quince, without losing all its usefulness, cut each fruit into 4 parts and take out the seed box. We remind you that the peel should not be cut off, since it is the main source of vitamins in the product. Now prepare the jars: they need to be washed and sterilized in the usual way for a couple and placed for drying. And then prepare the syrup: dissolve the sugar in the water and put it to boil. You can prepare the compote from quince without sterilization, but then the shelf life will be significantly reduced, and you will also have to keep it in the refrigerator, which is extremely inconvenient.
