Cook Mode(Keep screen awake)
Ingredients
4poundsfresh fruit, such as strawberries, blackberries, figs, watermelon, apples, pears and/or citrus, peeled, sliced and/or diced
4poundsgranulated sugar
1lemon or lime, thinly sliced
Directions
Toss fruit, sugar and lemon (or lime) slices in a large pot. Cover and let macerate overnight.
Transfer the pot to the stove and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cover, lower the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the fruit shrinks slightly and the syrup starts to turn the pale color of the fruit, adding water as needed to keep the syrup pale and thin, at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour. (For fruits like strawberries, blackberries, figs and watermelon flesh, 15 minutes may be all the time you need. For apples, pears, citrus and watermelon rinds, you’ll need to cook them a bit longer until some of the fruit becomes translucent.) Remove from heat and let cool for at least 1 hour.
Transfer the fruit and syrup into jars, cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 months.
To make ahead
Refrigerate for up to 3 months.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
