Cut fruit into chunks. Save the liquid. Pur e fruit until smooth. If thick, add liquid from canned fruit, juice or water. If sweetening is desired, add sugar, corn syrup or honey.
Sugar is best for immediate use or short storage.
If longer storage is desired, corn syrup or honey work best since they will not crystallize as easily. Sweetener can be added as desired. More may be used if desired. Saccharin-based sweeteners may be used in amounts equivalent to the amount of sugar that they replace. Aspartame sweeteners are not recommended since they may lose their sweetness during drying.
