Mix water, lemon juice, rind, Sucanant, and whey.
Cut fruit and add lemon juice mixture to it. Mix with raisins, herbs, and spices.
Place in a quart jar (or two pint jars) and press down lightly with a wooden mallet. Add more water if necessary to cover the fruit. Make sure the mixture is at least one inch below the top of the jar.
Cover tightly and keep at room temperature for two days before moving to cold storage.
