use honey or coconut sugar & can use any fruit
TIP- Sugar does NOT preserve the fruit in jam making/canning.
Preservation is through clean jars and the canning process/water bath technique.
Fruits like figs, apricots, peaches, pears, apples
mangoes, kiwi, pineapple, all don't need sugar
SO, cook any fruit - with no sugar and very little water.
( preferably in a stone pan, as then it won't burn/catch )
Then preserve it in sterilised bottles/jars with a very good seal.
