Wash the fresh seasonal fruit thoroughly. If using strawberries, remove the stems and slice them. For peaches, peel and chop them into small pieces.

Cook the Mixture
In a large pot, combine the prepared fruit, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir well and let it sit for about 30 minutes to allow the fruit to macerate.
