    Remove from heat. You can serve it hot immediately, or let it cool to room temperature and then refrigerate. Strain the fruit before serving if a clear drink is preferred.

A little kitchen wisdom

You can use any combination of seasonal or dried fruits. If using dried fruit, soak them for 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit used.
