Time (Length of time for boiling)

The length of time for boiling will depends on the kind of fruit used, as well as on its condition, whether wet, ripe or unripe. Roughly, forty minutes is the time from when the fruit commences to boil, but after about twentyfive minutes it is wise to test by placing a very little in a saucer. If it sets, it is done; if you think it is done, put it on a cool part of the stove while you wait for test saucer to cool. Otherwise it may become over-cooked.
