Cut the gel wax into small pieces, approximately 1- to 2-inch squares. Place the wax pieces in the stainless steel pot and melt them slowly on low heat until the wax is completely melted and the consistency is similar to molasses.

Use a hot glue gun to secure the wick at the bottom of the glass container you chose for your candle. Dab a small amount of hot glue in the center of the bottom of the glass. Place one end of the wick into the drop of glue. Allow the glue to dry so one end of the wick is secured to the bottom of the glass.

Heat the glass container in the oven to approximately 160 degrees Fahrenheit. This will prevent the glass from shattering or cracking when you pour the hot gel wax into the glass. Dip the fruit pieces into the hot wax and arrange them inside the glass container along the sides.

Fill the glass container with the melted gel wax by pouring the wax into the glass slowly along the sides. This will help prevent air bubbles from forming in the candle. Pull the wick up through the middle of the gel wax and allow the candle to cool at room temperature.

Trim the wick to about a 1/2 inch or less once the gel wax has set and the candle has cooled.
