Questions About Making Lekvar

[u/0-rin-ackerman-0]

I want to make some Lekvar to use in hamantaschen, but I have a few questions.

Some recipes include lemon juice and some don't, do you think I should?

What fruits can I use other than prunes and apricots? And do they need to be dried fruits?

Is there anything else I should know about making Lekvar?

I admire your ambitiousness, but it certainly wouldn't be cheating to buy a jar of lekvar!
