- 3-3/4 cups prepared fruit:
- 1 orange
- 1 lemon
- about 2 lb. fully ripe pears
- 1/3 cup chopped maraschino cherries
- 1/2 cup finely chopped citron
- 8-1/4 oz. can crushed pineapple
- 5 cups (2-1/4 lb.) sugar
- 1 box Sure-Jell Fruit Pectin

- pears. Combine all the fruits, including cherries, citron, and pineapple.

- into fruit. Place over high heat; stir until mixture comes to a hard boil.

- minute*, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim off foam with metal
- spoon. Ladle quickly into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/8-inch space at top.
