Mixture will remain thick but moist as fruit exudes liquid as it cooks. Let cool. Transfer mixture to food processor with honey, lemon juice and nuts. Coarsely chop in 4 or 5 on/off turns (do not overchop). Scrape thick mixture into a bowl. If desired, stir in wine to taste. Store in refrigerator in a tightly closed jar.
