Step 1
Cut the lemons in half. Juice the lemons, reserving the seeds. (You will need ¾ cup lemon juice for this recipe).
Step 2
Place the lemon juice, reserved seeds, plum, nectarine, apple and 8 cups (2L) water in a large saucepan. Place over high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour.
Step 3
Line a large colander with 2 large pieces of muslin or clean kitchen wipes. Place over a large bowl. Spoon the plum mixture into the colander. Set aside for 6 hours to drain.

Step 5
Remove from heat and set aside for 5 mins to cool slightly. Pour evenly among sterilised jars. Seal and turn upside down for 2 mins. Turn upright. Set aside to cool completely.
