Guava compote is one of Mexican cuisine's dairy-free dessert classics, made by softening halved guavas with cinnamon and sugar in a pressure cooker in just a few minutes. Using a pressure cooker drastically cuts down the long boiling time that guava's firm flesh would otherwise need. Served cold, it's a simple yet satisfying option for anyone looking for a light, refreshing dessert.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the syrup

5 min

Mix the sugar, water, cinnamon and clove in the pressure cooker and bring to a boil.

2

Add the guavas and cook

8 min

Add the halved guavas to the syrup, close the lid and cook for 8 minutes once the valve starts hissing.

3

Release the pressure

7 min

Remove from heat and let it cool naturally for 7 minutes until the valve stops hissing.

4

Chill and serve

120 min

Chill the guavas in their syrup in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.

Reminder

If you open the lid before the pressure has released, the guavas can fall apart — be sure to wait until the valve stops hissing.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Adding a pinch of clove to the syrup gives the guava compote the warm spice note typical of Mexican markets.

Düdüklü tencerede 8 dakikalık pişirme süresi guavalar için gerçekten biraz uzun gelmedi mi, daha küçük guavalar kullansam süreyi rahatlıkla 5 dakikaya kadar indirmem gerekir mi?
