Put the fruit in water and baking soda for half an hour, then rinse well under running water and with a knife remove the peel and the core.

Then cut the fruit into small pieces not so large and left aside.

Now, pour the fruit cut with the juice of a lemon and bring back to the boil.

From this moment calculate 10 minutes of cooking or the time necessary for the fruit to be soft, in the meantime if it will start to form foam on the surface remove it by collecting it with a skimmer.

Then, turn off the stove and with the help of a minipimer dip reduce the cooked fruit cream.

Now you can decide to bottle the mixture as it is ( as a smoothie ) or get the juice by filtering everything by a colander.

Calculate that to steralize and form the vacuum packed will take 30 minutes of boiling.
