Chop Suey Conserve

1 pound seedless white grapes
1 dozen red plums
1 large orange
4 pounds fresh peaches

Wash the raw fruit; halve the grapes, pit and cut the plums into small pieces; slice the orange very thinly, discard seeds and quarter the slices; scald peaches, remove skins and slice. Put the raw fruits into a large preserving kettle, add the pineapple juice and simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Now add the pineapple, diced. Measure the fruit and add 3/4 cup sugar for each cup of fruit. Continue to simmer slowly, stirring frequently, for one hour. Skim, if necessary, then turn into small, sterilized jars and seal. Makes 8 pints.
