Gooseberry compote with lemon and mint
This gooseberry, lemon and mint compote has a perfectly balanced taste. The fact is that if you prepare a drink exclusively from this sour berry, it will acquire light wine notes that not everyone likes. But mint with lemon will emphasize all the advantages of gooseberries and neutralize the disadvantages. As for the choice of berries, we recommend using the strongest, even slightly unripe specimens. And it is better to take a green gooseberry, since red during storage can change color, and the compote will have an unappetizing "rusty" shade. Want to add vanilla sugar? You are welcome! Gooseberry compote with lemon and mint will turn out to be very aromatic and pleasantly refreshing.
