Notes
- Use fresh fruit for this recipe. I don't recommend frozen for this preserve at all.
- Red food coloring is not 100% necessary, but it adds a nice color; otherwise, your preserve won't look as appetizing. However, this will not change the flavor profile at all.
- This can also be made in a cooking blender as more of a puree. The cornstarch will act as a thickener to make this more of a jam-like texture.
