Instructions
- Wash the jocotes and prick them lightly with a fork so the syrup can penetrate.
- Heat the water with the sugar and the cinnamon stick until fully dissolved.

- Cook over low heat for 30 to 40 minutes, until the skin loosens slightly.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and let cool.
- Keep chilled in its syrup and serve very cold.
Variations and tips
No long cooking. For a quick version, simmer for only 15 minutes; the fruit will stay firmer.
