My sister shared this recipe with me years ago. It's a must for my family at Christmas. —Elaine Nichols, Mesa, Arizona Ingredients:
1 can (29 ounces) sliced peaches |
1 can (15 ounces) apricot halves |
1 tablespoon whole allspice |
1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons whole cloves |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/3 cup white vinegar |
5 cinnamon sticks (3 inches) |
1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks, drained |
Directions:
1. Drain peaches and apricots, reserving juice. Set fruit aside. Place allspice and cloves on a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners of cloth and tie with kitchen string to form a bag. In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, vinegar and reserved juice. Add spice bag and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil; boil for 5 minutes. Discard spice bag and cinnamon. Add the pineapple, peaches and apricots. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until heated through. Serve warm or at room temperature. Yield: 8-10 servings.
