Brandied Fruit
This just seems like a great way to continuously have fruit on hand. This is a recipe my grandmother used to make all the time and it was fabulous. is a delicious quick snack that gets more potent the longer it sits! (Thanks for sending this recipe, both mom and I have been looking for it because we’ve been wanting to make it again)
Ingredients:
3/4 sugar
1 cup of peaches, canned and drained
1 cup of pineapple, canned and drained
1 cup of maraschino cherries, canned & drained
Directions:
- In a bowl, mix all ingredients together and store in a closed jar (but not air tight).
- Every 2 to 3 weeks, empty fruit into bowl, add chopped fruit and sugar. Mix well. Wash and dry jar.
Tip: Never let fruit get lower than 2 cups before adding fruit. Never store in tightly sealed jar as it could explode. Good on ice cream, plain cake or all alone.

Don’t you have to add the Brandy into this? I thought that was what you added every 2-3 weeks…

I thought so too, but Mom said this was the recipe. I’ll ask her again just to be sure.

This is the original recipe that I received from my mother. The sugar and fruit will ferment as it sets, that’s what “makes” the brandy.
