20 oz Sliced peaches, chopped
 7 1/2 c  Sugar, divided
     1    Package dry yeast
    20 oz Pineapple, crushed
    10 oz Maraschino cherries
    30 oz Fruit cocktail, cut
   Do not drain fruit. Combine peaches and 2-1/2 c sugar and yeast in a
 1-gallon glass or crockery jar with a loose fitting lid, stir to mix. Stir
 daily for 10 days.
   On the 10th day, add pineapple and 2-1/2 c sugar. Stir daily for another
 10 days. Add cherries, fruit cocktail and remaining sugar and stir daily
 for 10 more days. Drain fruit, reserve juice for the next batch. Makes
 enough fruit for 4 cakes. To make more starter, use 1-1/2 cups starter
 juice instead of yeast with peaches and sugar.
