Stewed fruit

The really important thing to remember when you are stewing fruit is that it's best to decide for yourself how much sugar to add – I'll give rough amounts here to guide you but if, for example, your fruit is really ripe and sweet, you'll need less than I'm suggesting. Just have a taste as you go along and add more if you think you need to.
