Bright and unusual compote of a feijoa, which are easy to prepare at home. A simple way to keep useful vitamins for the winter.
Feijoa - a berry that contains a large amount of useful minerals. Feijoa first discovered in Brazil in the XIX century. Over time, it began to grow around the world.
Ripening season is in the fall - the end of September, mid-October.
I first became acquainted with feijoa 10 years ago. I walked through the market and came to the mountain of green berries. Previously, I have never seen feijoa and did not know how it is. The seller told me that the best way to cook from Feijoa fruit compote and raw jam.
By the way, the recipe of jam I will publish soon, so subscribe to the channel, so as not to miss.
In its raw form the taste of Feijoa I did not like, because it is too tart. But when I first cooked compote of it, I realized that now I will do it every fall. Compote turns incredibly delicious and fragrant, and slightly sour taste thirst quencher.

Shifts the feijoa in a jar on a ⅓, I have it takes about 500-600 grams. I pour boiling water and leave for 10-15 minutes.
