- Grated ginger
- Golden granulated sugar
Cooking steps:
- Gather all your ingredients: around 500 grams of fruit, grated ginger, and golden granulated sugar.
- Preheat your oven to a low temperature.
- Puree the fruit in a blender until smooth.
- Transfer the pureed fruit to a saucepan and add in the grated ginger and golden granulated sugar. Stir well to combine.
