Two cups of Berries or Fruit of choice
A quick dash of citrus juice
Sweetener to taste
Wash the berries or fruit, and if needed, peel and take off any leaves or pits.
Harder fruits, like apples need to be boiled until soft after being cored. Berries can be smashed without boiling, but it make it easier to smash them if they are warm. Once they are ready to smash, place them in a bowl or pot and using a wooden mallet or something of that nature, smash until smooth. If using blackberries, it is usually preferable to strain the seeds after smashing, although it takes time. Strawberries can keep their seeds. Once it is smooth, add the citrus juice and sweetener and stir until mixed.
Next, grease a wooden board well and spread the fruit mixture on it. Bake on extremely low heat, preferably over-night.
Use a knife to cut into squares of preferred size and wrap in a piece of cloth. Tie the cloth with a piece of string and it is ready to sell.
*The recipe can be doubled, tripled or quadrupled.
