2 cups pear juice
4 oz dried apples, chopped
1 cup golden raisin

3/4 cup dark raisin
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup chopped dried apricot
3/4 cup finely chopped candied orange peel
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup dry sherry
1/4 cup brandy
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 tsp ground cinnamon
