Combine fruit and sugar in saucepan. Cover and let stand in a cool place for 12 to 18 hours. Bring fruit and sugar mixture to a boil, stirring frequently.

Immediately fill hot, sterilized half-pint jars with mixture, leaving 1/4" headspace. Carefully run a nonmetallic utensil down inside of jars to remove trapped air bubbles.
