Cooking Tricks: How to Make Fruit in Syrup

Preparation

1. Clean the fruit and cut it into the size of pieces you want. Put the water with the sugar in a saucepan and let it boil. At that time, lower the heat, and let the water cook with the sugar for 20 more minutes. Put the fruit in the resulting syrup and let it cook for another 3 minutes.

2. Once this time has passed, put the fruit together with the syrup in airtight jars. Cover them and cook them in a water bath for 30 minutes to keep them in perfect condition for longer.

3. Keep in mind that to make the fruit syrup, you can use any type of fruit, if you add lemon juice, it will help thicken the syrup and prevent the fruit from oxidizing. Make sure that the fruit is healthy, without any blows and not too ripe so that the syrup comes out much better.

4. The pieces of fruit must be the same size so that they are all made in the same way. Once you have made the fruit in syrup, keep each jar in a cool, dry and dark place so that it is in perfect condition when it comes to eating it. Also, do not forget to put labels on the jars with the date of preparation so that they do not expire. Fruit in homemade syrup usually keeps perfectly for about a year.
