1. In a large pot, cover bottom with enough water to keep the fruit from scorching. This could be ¹/8-inch to ¼-inch, adding more when necessary.

2. Add fruit and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until fruit softens and begins to separate the pulp from the seed.

3. Pour entire contents through a food mill. Crank the food mill to separate the seeds and pulp. (If you do not have a food mill, you can use a fine-mesh sieve. Use the back of a wooden spoon to push the pulp through.)

4. Pour the pulp into the liquid containing trays of a dehydrator and let it run overnight.
