Glue Sniffer's Delight

This is a recipe from the drawer of Maxine.  So....I just thought I had to include this recipe because the name is SO CRAZY!!!!!  I guess this is basically a fermented fruit topping that you would use on ice cream or pound cake or.... you choose.  There are no serving suggestions listed on the recipe.



Use wooden spoon & glass cup.  Use only canned fruit, well drained.
Pineapple tidbits, sliced peaches, cut into 1/2 inch pieces & maraschino cherries, cut in half.
Add 1 c. fruit & 1 c. sugar, wait two days, then stir.
Then stir each day til next addition.
Wait at least 2 weeks between additions.
Always have at least 3 cups mixture left in jar.
Add fruit & sugar on 1st & 15th of each month.
Repeat.
Cherries
Pineapple
Peaches
--in the same order each two weeks or more.

This recipe does leave some interpretation.  First, if you are going to have several cups of fruit and be making additions as you go along, you will need more than a glass cup.  I am thinking a large glass bowl would be better.  Next, I would think that you would want to add a combination of fruit each time, but I guess you could interpret it to mean that you would add 1 c. of a single fruit and a different fruit each time.
Another point left to interpretation is the frequency.  I guess you can add once each two weeks, or you can add twice a month, as both time frames are mentioned in the recipe.  

Just personally this sounds like it would be VERY sweet, if you add a cup of sugar every time you add a cup of fruit.  Also, I see it that you would need to go at least two months before you could use any of it, because it would take you 6 weeks to get 3 cups worth, and it says to always have at least 3 cups of mixture left in the jar.  So on your 8 weeks addition you would have 4 cups worth, so at that time you could use a cup of the mixture.

Anyone adventurous enough to give it a try??
