Instructions

Wash, trim and prepare the fruit; the listed gram amounts are edible fruit after removing stones, stems, cores and skins as appropriate.
Combine the fruit and exactly 110 ml water in a wide, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cover and heat over medium-low until completely soft, about 20–35 minutes.
Purée the cooked fruit using an immersion blender; if the fruit is seedy (especially berries), strain through a fine sieve or food mill.
Return the purée to the pan, stir in all sugar, bottled lemon juice and stated aromatic flavor ingredients.
Cook uncovered over low to medium-low heat, stirring frequently for 75–150 minutes until thick enough to mound on a chilled spoon without a watery halo.
Cool promptly in shallow clean containers and refrigerate at 40°F (4°C) or below. Freeze portions intended for longer storage.
Use as a refrigerated fruit spread or swirl into cold desserts; it is not made for water-bath canning.

Tips

Fruit thickness and pectin differ: cook to the spoon-mound endpoint, not only the stated time.
Not for canning: university extension guidance warns that altered and tropical fruit butters have no approved process for shelf-stable canning, so keep this one in the fridge or freezer.
