You will need: • At least a pint of fruit • A lemon • Sugar • A heavy-bottom skillet • A wooden spoon • A small jar . - Take some fruit (overripe or nearly overripe is best). Clean and chop it small. Add to a shallow heavy-bottom pan over medium heat. - Sprinkle some sugar over the top. - Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. - As the fruit cooks, smash it with the back of a wooden spoon. - Stir frequently. - It’s ready when you can run a spoon through the pan and the mixture stays separated.
