 2 3/4 cups sugar
 2 teaspoons crushed peppercorns
 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
 1 lemon, quartered

Mix all ingredients in a heavy medium pot. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fruit releases juices, about 30 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring as needed to prevent sticking, until thick and slightly darker, about 1 1/2 hours.
