Fruit Cocktail

My Mom has a Bartlett pear tree and she gave me a huge bag of pears. I love Bartlett pears. They are so sweet and have a little twang to them. Of course, canning season is in full swing so I said "I can can that!". I bought a pineapple, peaches, grapes, and cherries to add to the pears for yummy fruit cocktail. Peel, core, and dice the fruit. Heat the fruit in either a syrup or fruit juice (I used white grape juice). Pack the hot fruit into hot jars. Fill with hot juice to 1/2 inch head space, wipe rim and seal. Process in boiling water bath for 20 min.



The kids loved the fruit cocktail and I think the tartness from the grape juice adds a little extra! Big Boy and Little Girl loved that there were bowls of fruit out and they kept walking by, swiping fruit.
