Ingredients

• Apple 20 oz
• Fresh Mint 2 sprigs
• Oranges 1 piece
• Lemon 0 oz
• Sugar 5 oz
• Water 2½ l

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients.

Step 2

Sterilize the jars over steam for 15–20 minutes.

Step 3

Wash the apples. Cut each apple into quarters, remove the core, and place them in a jar, filling it to about 3/4 of its capacity.

Step 4

Wash the lemon and orange (and blanch in boiling water if the fruits have a waxy coating). Cut out a few slices from the center of the orange (the leftover orange can be used in other dishes or simply eaten). Cut the lemon into wedges. Add to the jar.

Step 5

Add mint leaves to the jar.

Step 6

Boil the water and pour it into the jar up to the top. Cover the jar with lids (do not seal) and let it sit for about 1 hour.

Step 7

Drain the water from the can into a pot.

Step 8

Bring it to a boil.

Step 9

Pour granulated sugar into the jar with the fruits and cover with hot liquid.

Step 10

Seal the jar and turn it upside down, wrap it in a blanket or throw, and leave it for 8 hours, or ideally for 24 hours.

Step 11

Flip the jars upside down and store them. You can taste the mojito compote after a month. Serve with ice.
