The class pineapple compote uses chopped fresh pineapple, pineapple puree, sugar and lemon juice, cooked until the fruit is soft and the mixture thickens. Cool it before adding it to cake layers.

Don't assume every fruit behaves identically. The reference uses added pectin in some other fruit preparations. A ready-made filling or canned fruit can have a different sugar and water content, so an exact substitution needs checking against the recipe.
