Homemade Pineapple Compote Recipe

Fresh, sweet, and tangy, make your own delicious pineapple compote with simple ingredients. You won’t buy another can of pineapple compote from the market again. 

Ever since I learned how to make compotes at home, I have never used the market ones. They are so much better than the preserved ones. Nothing beats the freshness of the fruits in a homemade compote. Whether pineapple, strawberry, or even Blueberry compote, I prefer making a fresh batch and using it for my desserts. 

This pineapple compote recipe is not only super easy to make but also very quick and delicious. There are no additives or preservatives in it, making it a much better option than market ones. 

This compote can be used for any dessert of your choice. I use it for my pineapple cake recipe, where I add this compost as a filling in between layers. Try it once, and you’ll make it every week.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe? 

  • Natural Flavour: Using fresh pineapples for the compote gives it a much more authentic and natural flavor. This makes other desserts also taste better. 
  • Freshness: The market compotes have few preservatives to extend their shelf life. They make the compote stay for long, but the quality is compromised. Making your fresh compote may have less shelf life, but it’s free from preservatives, making it of better quality. 
  • Simple Ingredients: There is no need for any fancy ingredients or Equipment to make the compote at home. All ingredients used are readily available in any kitchen, so you can make it anytime you want. 

Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe

  • Fresh Pineapple: Using fresh seasonal pineapples is the key here. All natural flavor and tanginess will come from the pineapple used in the recipe, giving it a more authentic taste. 
  • Sugar: Castor sugar is used to provide sweetness to the compote. It also acts as a natural preservative, which gives the compote its shelf life.
  • Corn Flour: To make the compote thick, corn flour acts as the thickening agent. When added and cooked with the pineapples, it makes the compote thick. 
  • Lemon Juice: Lemon juice is also one of the important ingredients used in the recipe. It not only provides some sourness but also helps prevent any crystallization of castor sugar. Adding lemon juice makes sure that the sugar won’t clump or seize. 
  • Salt: A hint of salt will definitely make your compote taste better. It will enhance and lift the pineapple flavor. 
  • Water: Water is needed to adjust the consistency of the compote. Without water, the compote will be too thick and sticky.

How To Make Homemade Pineapple Compote

Preparation: Collect all ingredients required to make the compote. Measure each ingredient separately. 

Make Corn Flour Slurry: Start by mixing corn flour and water (b) to make corn flour slurry. Stir it well and keep it aside. 

Cook Compote Mixture: In a heavy bottom pan, take Chopped pineapples, sugar, water (a), and salt. Put it on low to medium heat and let it cook. Stirring the mixture regularly, cook it until the sugar dissolves and the pineapples become soft. 

Add Slurry: Now that the pineapples have been soft, add the corn flour slurry to the mixture and stir. Cook the compote until it becomes slightly thick. 

Cool and Store: Once the compote becomes thick, stop cooking and transfer it to a bowl to cool down. After cooling, you can use it if needed; otherwise, you can store it in a glass jar and place it in the refrigerator for later use. 

Chef’s Tips For The Recipe

Keep The Heat Low. 

I would not recommend cooking the compote on high flame as then there will be chances of burning. Keep the heat at a low or slight medium throughout the cooking process. 

Do Not Cook For Too Long.

After adding the slurry, look for the mixture to become thick. Once you notice that it has turned into a thick mixture, do not continue to cook further. If cooked for long, the mixture will become very thick after cooling and won’t have a spreadable consistency. 

How To Store Homemade Pineapple Compote

Make sure that the compote has cooled down thoroughly before storing. You can store the compote in a glass jar or any airtight container. It must be kept in the refrigerator and used within two weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Is compote and jam the same thing?

No, compotes are comparatively less sweet and cooked for a lesser duration as opposed to jams, which are sweeter and cooked longer. Compotes are chunky, whereas jams are not. Also, the consistency is quite different, where jams are more set and similar to jelly.

Can I use canned pineapples instead of fresh ones? 

Try to use fresh, natural pineapples only to maintain quality and natural flavor. Canned pineapples are dipped in sweet syrup, so the compote may not have the tanginess that comes from fresh pineapples. However, during non-seasonal days, you may use the canned ones.

Where can I use pineapple compote? 

You can use it as filling for pineapple cake, for desserts like cake jars, fruit tarts, or even cupcakes. It can be used as a garnish for various desserts as well. You may pair them with your bread, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.

Can I freeze homemade pineapple compote?

Yes, you can freeze the compote if you want extended shelf-life. It will stay good for up to two months. Thaw the compote in the refrigerator and then at room temperature before use.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
