Instructions
Step 1
Start by peeling and *dicing* the ripe mangoes into small pieces. Make sure to remove the pit carefully. You should end up with about 1 pound of diced mangoes.
Next, take the fresh pineapple, *remove the skin* and core, and chop it into similar-sized small pieces. Aim for about 2 pounds of diced pineapple. This combination will provide a delightful tropical flavor.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, *combine* 1 cup of water with ½ cup of sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently. *Allow it to simmer* until the sugar is fully dissolved. This will create a lovely syrup for your fruit.
Step 3
Once the syrup is ready, *add* the diced mangoes and pineapples into the saucepan. Stir gently to ensure all the fruit is coated with the syrup. *Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer* and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fruits are tender but still hold their shape.
Step 4
After cooking, *remove the saucepan from heat* and let the compote cool. As it cools, it will thicken slightly. Once cool, you can serve it as a refreshing dessert, topping for yogurt, or simply enjoy it straight from the jar!
Servings
**Feeling indulgent?** Use it as a topping for vanilla ice cream. It creates a delicious contrast that every ice cream lover will enjoy! 💖
For a beautiful dessert display, **pour it into small dessert bowls** and garnish with mint leaves. Your guests will be impressed! 🌿💫
Equipment
Essential for simmering your fruits. Look for one with a thick bottom to prevent burning.
A great tool for stirring and blending your ingredients without scratching your saucepan.

Faq

Absolutely! Frozen fruit works just as well. Just add a little extra cooking time to ensure it's heated through and cooked down.

It can last up to 7 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Just give it a stir before serving!
- Can I adjust the sweetness level in this recipe?
Of course! Start with less sugar if you prefer a less sweet compote and adjust as necessary based on your taste.
- Is it possible to can this compote for longer storage?
Yes, you can can this compote. Just follow the proper canning procedures to ensure it is preserved safely.
- What other fruits work well in this recipe?
Other tropical fruits such as passion fruit or papaya would make great additions. Feel free to experiment!
- How do I make the compote thicker?
If you want a thicker consistency, simply add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the simmering mix.
