We normally recommend a lighter than normal syrup as you can add sugar after something is
opened. Use a heavier syrup during canning, if desired.
Remember to follow food safety instructions and select blemish free fruit. We always prefer
organic fruit without pesticides. We add lemon juice to most recipes to help protect the color.
