How to Stew Fruit
Stewing fruit is the process of gently simmering fruit in liquid with sugar and spices until soft and flavourful.
Ingredients
- 1 kg clean fruit (any stone or pip variety)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar (or honey)
Instructions
- Wash your fruit and cut up into chunks. Remove any blemishes as well as any stones or pips.
- Place in a heavy-bottomed pot with the water and sugar and simmer on a low heat, stirring often. You may need more sugar depending on the fruit you are using. Just taste and add as you need.
- When the stewed fruit reaches the consistency that you desire, take it off the heat.
- It's that easy. You can store it in an air tight jar or container in the fridge for up to a week.
