Feijoa compote is a fruit-based dessert or condiment made by cooking the flesh of ripe feijoas with water, a dash of lemon juice, and sugar until the fruit is soft and the mixture has thickened. In this article, you’ll learn how to make feijoa compote with dried apricots. While I have already shared a similar recipe on this blog, I found another version from Tui Flower’s Cookbook, 1968, and decided to share it with you.
