This was my grandma England's mother's recipe. Grandma England used to set the table so beautifully for Thanksgiving, and there was always a dish of this cocktail in the middle of each plate. It has become a tradition to serve this as an appetizer at Thanksgiving. My mom and my sisters and I always get together every Fall to make this cocktail with the fruit from our trees. Then we have yummy fresh fruit all Winter long!
3 qt. syrup (2 parts water, 1 part sugar), cooked and chilled
46 oz. orange juice
46 oz. pineapple juice
1/3 bunch peaches, peeled and diced
1/3 bunch pears, peeled and diced
5 lbs green grapes, halved
4 cans pineapple tidbits
1 large bottle maraschino cherries, cut in halves
Add all fruit to the juice and cold syrup. Put in containers and freeze. I think it's best when served partially frozen with a shot of Sprite in it.
