Rinse the fruit and trim any mouldy bits. Add the fruit, sugar, lime juice and water to a saucepan and turn the heat to medium. Bring the mixture to a boil and then turn it down to simmer for about 30 minutes. Add more water if the mixture looks like it’s drying up. I cook the fruit down until it is soft and has just lost its shape. Cook time will vary depending on the fruit.

Taste for sweetness and add more sugar if needed. Chill and refrigerate in a clean jar with a lid for up to 2 weeks.

This sauce can also be frozen and then thawed and used as needed. If a lot of liquid has been released by the fruit and the consistency is runny, you can add 1⁄2 tsp chia seeds and chill the mixture for 30 minutes. Chia seeds are hydrophilic and will absorb the extra liquid.
