Steps:
- Put 1 pound fruit (pitted and chopped if necessary) in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- After a minute or so, add 1/4 cup sugar (or to taste), seasonings to taste and 2 tablespoons juice, vinegar or whatever liquid you prefer.
- Adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles steadily, using higher heat if the mixture looks too soupy; lower the heat if it seems dry. Cook, stirring occasionally until the mixture is thick - 10 to 30 minutes. Cool completely and refrigerate; it will thicken more as it cools.
- Store in the refrigerator, where it will keep for at least a week. If necessary, remove any seasonings (like lemon-grass stalks) before serving.
