Friendship Cake Starter

Genia at Simple Meals yahoo group

Because I had the recipe for Friendship Cake, I felt the only way I could complete this recipe was finding a copy of the starter, as well. I sent a copy of the recipe to several of my yahoo recipe groups with my request and Genia from Simple Meals found this recipe for me that she found in a Church cookbook she received in 2001 from her aunt and uncle in Alabama called Country Cousins II.

1 cup sliced peaches; chopped and drained well
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cooking brandy
1 cup pineapple chunks, drained well
1 cup sugar
1 cup maraschino cherries, cut in half
1 cup sugar

Combine first 3 ingredients and stir well. Wait for 2 weeks then add
pineapple chunks and 1 cup sugar. Stir mixture well. Wait 2 weeks and
add cherries and 1 cup sugar. Stir mixture well. Wait 2 more weeks.

After a total of 6 weeks, it is ready to use.
Note: Be sure to store in a glass jar; remove fruit and drain well.
