Equipment

  • instant pot

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Quartered Fruit
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice

Instructions
 

  • Wash Fruit
  • Add fruit and sugar to the Instant Pot and stir. Allow them to marinate for an hour or until the fruit is juicy.
  • Add in fresh lemon juice and mix well
  • Cover and lock the lip and pressure cook or use the manual button and adjust the timer to 1 minute. When the timer beeps, allow the pressure to naturally release until the float valve drops. This takes approximately 15 minutes - then unlock the lid.
  • Using a potato masher or blender, blend the sauce until the desired consistency.
  • Press the Saute button on the pot and boil for 5 minutes or until the sauce reaches the desired gel state. Skim off and discard any foam.

Canning the Topping

  • Ladle into hot, sterilized glass containers or jars, leaving 1/2" headspace.
  • Seal the containers or jars following the instructions that came with your canning jars.
  • Allow to the sauce to cool and then serve. Store remaining mixture in an airtight container with a tight-fitting lid for up to a couple weeks in the refrigerator.
