Ingredients
- 5 large apples or 10 small apples cut into quarters
- 12 guayabas cut in half
- 20 tejocotes apple hawthorn cut in half
- 2 sugar canes ask for them to be cut into pieces, each will give you approximately 5-6 pieces of (20 cm or 8 in each
- 1/2 lb prunes 1/4 kg
- 2 handfuls of dry hibiscus flowers
- 5 sticks cinnamon
- 6 cups sugar if you want it to be sweet
- water
Utensilios
- Knife
- Cutting board
- 4 gallon pot
Instructions
- Peel the sugar cane pieces and split them lengthwise (see photo)
- Place all the ingredients in a large pot (it needs to hold about 4 gallons).
- Fill the pot to near the top with water and heat on high. When it starts to boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes or until all the fruits are cooked and have changed color completely.
- When it's ready, turn the heat off and let it rest with the top on for at least 4 hours. (In reality, you can drink it when it is finished cooking, but if you let it sit for the full 4 hours, it will be much tastier).
