Firstly, wash fruits and pat dry. Peel the fruit skin neatly and chop fruits into small pieces. Blend the fruit pieces to puree consistency and keep it aside. Secondly, in a heavy bottom kadhai or pan, add sugar and little water and stir well. Let sugar dissolve completely. Now add mixed fruit puree and stir well to avoid sticking the pan. Thirdly, add little yellow colour gel (it is purely optional) and mix well to get even colour to the fruit mixture. Finally, stir for 15 to 20 minutes and add freshly squeezed lemon.
