Sweet Stewed Chayote Fruit Recipe

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Course: Breakfast, Dessert, Snack
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 Chayote (large ones)
  • 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Dried Cranberries
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence

Instructions

  • Start by peeling the chayote.
  • Chop them in half and remove the seed.
  • Then cut the chayote into thick slices before dicing them to your desired size. I prefer small 1/2 inch squares.
  • Add the diced chayote to a pot and on the stove and set to medium heat.
  • Add the water, sugar, dried cranberries and vanilla essence.
  • Put a lid on the pot to help steam the chayote and keep an eye on the amount of liquid in the pot. If the heat is too high the water may need topping up.
  • Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until chayote is soft. Chayote will continue to hold its shape so you can test it with a fork to make sure it’s soft and cooked through.
    Serve warm or cold. Both are delicious!
