A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

over 5 hrs

8 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup peach juice
1 cup pineapple juice
1 jar (10 ounce size) maraschino cherries
1 large can peaches
1 large can chunk pineapple
1 large can fruit cocktail
directions
NOTE: Do not refrigerate. Keep on counter top in gallon jar. Stir several times daily. This will make enough fruit for 3 cakes. Cover jar with a cloth, not a lid.
Combine 1 cup sugar, peach juice and pineapple juice, stir everyday for 2 weeks. Next combine 1 1/2 cups starter, 2 1/2 cups sugar and cut up peaches with juice, stir for 10 days.
Then add 2 1/2 cups sugar and pineapple with juice, stir for 10 more days. Then add 2 1/2 cups sugar, fruit cocktail with juice and chopped up cherries, stir for 10 more days. Then drain fruit juice from fruit and give to friends for a starter, 1 1/2 cups each.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I want to make the friendship fruit bread,but I can't find the recipe to go with the starter.I have searched your whole website, and all I can find is the one with brandy in it.Help me please.
there is no yeast nor brandy in this. What makes it ferment?
1) at end of first 2weeks,second paragraph, states combine 1 1/2 cups starter. Where do I get THAT starter from? 2)How about a recipe for the actual cake, once I have the starter going. thank you
1) it is saying to use 1 1/2 cups of the starter you just made. 2) Just browse our site, http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/cat/388/
Please, I am needing cooking instructions when I give to friends!
Recipe Name: Friendship Fruit Starter The list of ingredients indicates a large can of peaches. When do you add the peaches to jar? The recipe doesn not mention the can of peaches.
The peaches are mentioned in the second paragraph.
