Preserving
Ingredients
Directions
Cook whole fruits in sirup until clear and transparent.
Ensure the fruit keeps its form, is plump, tender, and clear.
Gradually increase the density of the sirup to allow the fruit to absorb it.
Boil the fruit in sirup or alternate cooking and resting in the sirup.
If the fruit shrivels, reduce the sirup's density by adding water.
