Tips

  • Fruits that are already a bit soft will need less cooking than more firm fruit. But even if the fruit does cook a bit longer and becomes mushy, it will still taste fantastic.
  • Any stone fruit will work in this recipe, if one or another is unavailable simply substitute with whatever is available.
