Drunken Fruit Cake

Drunken Fruit
1 envelope yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 cup sliced canned peaches
1 cup canned pineapple chunks
1 cup apricot halves, drained
3 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup brandy
1 cup red maraschino cherries, with juice

Drain peaches and pineapple. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Place all ingredients in a loosely-sealed jar. Keep in a warm, preferably dark, spot. NEVER use a metal spoon in this fruit. Never let the fruit get under less than 3 cups. Every two weeks add 1 cup sugar and 1 cup drained fruit (if using maraschino cherries, use the juice also). You may substitute pear slices or mandarin orange slices.

This is good served over ice cream or pound cake, also.
