Compote for daily use is made from fresh fruits and berries, dried fruits and berries.

The procedure for

preparing raw materials for compote consists of cleaning, extracting, washing and chopping fruits and
berries from inedible parts.

Some fruits and berries melt when boiled and mix with water, so heating is stopped as soon as they are
put into water and syrup. It is recommended to add sugar after the compote has cooled to increase the
solubility of the soluble substances in the fruit. To improve the aroma and taste of the compote, 5-10 g
of grape wine is added to each pile. When making compote from dried fruits and berries, they are
selected and cleaned, washed 3-4 times in hot water and then cooked. If company are going to make
compote from several dried fruits, they select the fruits, cook them separately and then mix them. Cook
apples and pears for 35-40 minutes, other fruits for 15-20 minutes, raisins for 3-5 minutes. Then they
are mixed, sugar is added and cooled. The fruit of the compote should be whole, the juice should be
clear, brown in color, sweet and fragrant.

opportunity for our company, Bizim Tarla, to export our products abroad. No particular target market is
required for compote. They are a part of the food industry and can be consumed by the general market.
