This is an old recipe that has been in my family for a very long time. Again, as in many Mennonite recipes the measurements aren't exact since it's hard to expect how many cups chopped fruit with be. You will need equal cups for sugar to cups of fruit. Ex. 4 cups of fruit and 4 cups of sugar.

Time 10h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 apples
6 pears
6 peaches
2 oranges
1 lemon
1/3 cup maraschino cherry

Steps:

  • Wash the oranges and lemons and slice thinly. Put them in a pot with just enough water to cover the fruit. Let it stand in the water overnight. Don't drain the water but cook them in it until they're soft. Wash and peal the remaining fruit. Add to the citrus mixture starting with the firmest fruit first. Cook a bit longer until all the fruit is tender. Measure the fruit and add equal amounts of sugar to the fruit. Boil it slowly until it's thick like a syrup. The jam with thicken more as it cools. Stir in quartered maraschino cherries for colour. Pour into hot sterilized jam jars and seal with the lid. The lids should pop on their own if the jars were hot prior to pouring the jam into them.
