The method for producing a fruit product, the fruit product including soluble fruit components, extracts a desired amount of the soluble fruit components from the fruit and infuses the extracted fruit with an infusion liquid having an amount of sugar and an amount of soluble fruit components, the amount of soluble fruit components formulated to diffuse a predetermined amount of the soluble fruit components remaining in the extracted fruit into the infusion liquid. The apparatus comprises a tank having a top opening, a sidewall, a bottom, and a bottom opening; the top opening of the tank being larger in size than the bottom opening of the tank; first piping disposed within the tank, the first piping allowing fluids to disperse around the circumference of the tank; second piping disposed within the tank, the second piping allowing fluids to disperse over the top opening of the tank; and a stirring arm disposed within the tank, the stirring arm capable of circulating the contents of the tank.
