- Cook the fruit over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fruit from breaking down too much.
- Stir the fruit occasionally: This will help to prevent the fruit from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
- Remove the fruit from the heat when it has thickened: The fruit should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Let the fruit cool before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop.
