Sour cherry compote with honey
If you do not consume sugar, then you can replace it in a drink with the help of another podstlastitel: honey, stevia and agave syrup cope with this role brilliantly. At the output you will get a bright cherry drink, which will be more useful than its classic counterpart.

Compote of cherry and raspberry with mint

Compote of cherries and strawberries with basil
When it comes to combining cherries and strawberries in a dish, any additions become superfluous, but we take such a risk and put into the compote something not quite the usual - a couple of branches of basil that will satiate the compote with an inexpressible aroma.

Remove the pan from the heat, put the basil and leave to cool to room temperature before use. A serving of lemon juice to taste and a handful of ice remain at your discretion.
