Place fruit in a glass or pyrex bowl. Add boiling water or fruit juice at a 2:1 ratio to fruit. Allow to sit for 15-45 minutes. Drain the liquid.  It is that simple! The soaking liquid can be used as a sweet addition to baked goods, hot cereals or dried fruit compotes.

You can alternatively cover fruit with water or juice and let it sit overnight, covered, in the refrigerator.
