How to Make Pink Fruit Compote

  1. Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands from the cactus pear's spines. Cut the cactus pear open lengthwise and carefully remove the skin and any remaining spines. Discard the skin and spines.
  2. Coarsely chop the cactus pear flesh.
  3. Puree the chopped cactus pear in a blender until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove the seeds. Discard the seeds.
  4. Stir in the granulated sugar and lime juice. Continue stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  5. Gently fold in the mixed berries (or other fruits) until evenly distributed.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Serve immediately for a fresh taste, or cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld. The compote will thicken slightly as it chills.
