Drunken Fruit recipe

This is good served over ice cream or pound cake.

1 envelope yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 cup sliced canned peaches
1 cup canned pineapple chunks
1 cup apricot halves, drained
3 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup brandy
1 cup red maraschino cherries, with juice

Drain peaches and pineapple. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Place all ingredients in a loosely-sealed jar. Keep in a warm, preferably dark, spot. NEVER use a metal spoon in this fruit. Never let the fruit get under less than 3 cups. Every two weeks add 1 cup sugar and 1 cup drained fruit (if using maraschino cherries, use the juice also). You may substitute pear slices or Mandarin orange slices.
