Peel and pit the fruit. Weigh the flesh and combine it with an equal amount of sugar in a pot. Mash with a potato masher and bring to a boil. Add lemon juice and simmer gently, stirring regularly (beware of splattering), until the mixture becomes a thick puree (about 30 minutes). Spread the mash onto parchment paper on a baking sheet and let it cool overnight. Then cut into cubes and toss in sugar.
