FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to preservation industry and may be used for apple compote preservation. The method envisages sealing jars filled with compote and putting the jars into the carrier. Then the jars are subjected to staged heating in baths filled with 75 and 100°C water during 8 and 8 minutes, respectively; then the jars are heated in 150°C air flow at a rate of 7-8 m/s during 12 minutes. Then one performs cooling the jars filled with compote in an atmospheric air flow at a rate of 7-8 m/s during 10 minutes with further continuation of cooling in an atmospheric air flow at a rate of 7-8 m/s with alternate application of a 65-70°C water film on the jar surface during 10 minutes. During the heat treatment process the jar is turned upside down with a frequency equal to 0.33 s^-1.

EFFECT: invention allows to reduce the process duration, heat energy and water consumption as well as enhance the ready product quality due to more complete preservation of biologically active components and boiled fruits quantity decrease.
