How to Make Jicama And Fruit Compote

  1. Peel and dice 1 medium jicama (about 1 cup diced).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced jicama, 2 thinly sliced lemons, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 1 cinnamon stick.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
  4. Add 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced) and 1/2 cup dried apricots to the saucepan.
  5. Continue to simmer uncovered for another 2-4 minutes, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape. Stir occasionally.

  7. Serve chilled. Enjoy!
