Tip
It's important to cut the fruit into pieces that are similar in size, so if you have larger pieces of fruit cut them into eighths. For smaller pieces, simply cut them in half.

Step 2
Place the prepared fruit in the baking pan, add the lemon juice and sugar, and toss well to coat. Place pan in the oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the fruit is fork-tender, but still maintains its shape.
Tip
To keep your fruit extra juicy, brush the peaches and plums with the juices from the pan halfway through the baking time with a pastry brush.
