For best results, use ripe but firm fruit. Overripe fruit will become mushy. Feel free to experiment with other fruits like blueberries, blackberries, or sliced plums. If you prefer a less sweet syrup, reduce the amount of sugar slightly. The syrup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. A splash of orange liqueur can add another layer of flavor.
