Just time.....and three rackings after I got it off the fruit.
It was a three gallon batch, and yeah, I lost almost a gallon because of fruit. What I did was make a gallon of show mead at the same time (3lbs orange blossom honey, water to one gallon, same yeast, etc.), and when I racked off the fruit I topped off with the show mead (and then racked the rest of the show mead into a 64oz growler so I could keep headspace down and use it again during further rackings. It seemed to work.
