Fruit

Information

Storing all your fruit in the fridge will help it last longer (except bananas and pineapple).

If your fruit is about to go off, or is over ripe put it in a saucepan with a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice and sugar. Heat slowly until the fruit 'pops' and the liquid reduces (gets thicker). You'll then have your own jam or fruit compote
