4.Measure fruit mixture, allow 1 cup sugar to each 1 cup of fruit mixture.
5.Return fruit mixture and sugar to boiler (mixture should not be more than 5cm deep at this stage), stir without boiling over high heat, until sugar is dissolved.
6.Bring to the boil, boil rapidly, uncovered, without stirring, for about 15 minutes, or until a teaspoon of mixture jells when tested on a cold saucer (see notes).
