My cookbook

Я сделала по рецепту, но вместо 2 quarts of water добавила одну.

2 quarts plus 3/4 cup cold water
¾ cup sugar
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1 lemon (thinly sliced)

In a small saucepan, combine the 3/4 cup of water with the sugar. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
Step 2

In a large pitcher, combine the remaining 2 quarts of water with the lemon juice and sugar syrup. Add the lemon slices and refrigerate until chilled. Serve the lemonade over ice.

Это компот на мой вкус. Очень легкий, не сильно сладкий и не приторный. Я на праздник делала двойную порцию, но на самом деле достаточно одинарной.

3-4 apples
Fresh cranberries, 3/4 of cup or less
1/2 cup of sugar
2.5qt of water

Bring to boil about 2.5qt of water in big cooking pot, add all sugar and reduce heat till light simmering. Pour cranberries into the water. Cut each apple in to 6-8 pieces and remove seeds (you may also skin apples if you like), add apples to the pot. Simmer apples and cranberries over very light heat till apples become soft, but not over cooked (about 10-15 mins). Remove pot from the burner, let kompot cool till room temperature, then pour it to the pitcher. Serve Apple & Cranberries Kompot with fruits in or without.
