3. place fruits & shredded ginger in a deep pot, add lemon juice & water
4. bring it to boil, then simmer until fruits is soft, 40-50min
5. add water if necessary, to bring back water to original level
6. add sugar & boil rapidly to 103'C, continue cooking
7. do sheet test. If syrup pass sheet test, remove from heat to cool

Sheet Test
Put a cold metal spoon into the boiling syrup, raise the spoon 1 foot above the pot.
Run mixture in the spoon from side to side to cool. If the syrup falls off the spoon 
in one sheet instead of a drop, it is ready.

Preparation of bottles

    the slight after taste of bitterness in the mixture of sour and sweet flavour is really good

    Katie Foong: Yes, the bitterness comes from the lemon rind. The ginger taste will enhance its flavour too.

    This would be so good on a slice of sourdough bread spread with salted golden churn butter or crackers. My late father in law would enjoy this.

    Katie Foong: Yes, yes
