You can use different fruits if you wish, as long as you use the same ratio of puree and gelatin. I simply decided to use kiwis because we had lots and they were not getting ripe. Winter fruits :(

If you want you can pause here and continue another day. The puree keeps for three days (depending on the fruit). If using berries I recommend stirring in the sugar before you refrigerate the puree.

The next day, or whenever you want to continue, you transfer all the puree to a pot and heat it up on medium, until it steams. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

It still looks as good as it tastes. If you like less of an acidic taste you could try combining other fruits. We loved the kiwi flavor because it brought back a lot of summer feelings.
