Time 1h

Yield About 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound fruit
1/4 cup sugar
Seasonings to taste
2 tablespoons juice
Vinegar

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.
