Tejocote is a classic Mexican winter fruit; in this recipe it is simmered with sugar and balanced against the heat of red chilli for a sweet-hot profile. Lightly roasting the chillies in the air fryer adds a smoky depth, and the jarred spread works equally well at breakfast, as a late-night snack, or alongside a cheese board at a party.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the tejocote

15 min

Boil the tejocote in water for 15 minutes, and once cool enough to handle, peel and remove the seeds.

2

Roast the chillies

6 min

Lightly roast the red chillies in the air fryer on a high setting for 6 minutes, then finely chop.

3

Bring to the boil

4 min

Simmer the peeled tejocote with the sugar, lemon juice and roasted chillies in a pan.

4

Thicken

20 min

Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes until the mixture thickens, then ladle into sterilised jars while hot.

Reminder

Tejocote skin is tough, do not try to peel it before boiling; once boiled and cooled slightly the skin comes away easily.
