Sweet Pickle For All Kinds Of Fruit

First pare the fruit and drop in a pan of water. For each 7 pounds of fruit prepare a syrup from 3 pounds granulated sugar and 1 pint of good vinegar. Boil the fruit in clear water until it can be pierced with a fork, then drop them in the boiling syrup and pour in from 1 to 2 tablespoonfuls of the mixed spices, or whole spice, to suit taste. Seal in air tight jars. The less cooking you give the fruit the lighter the color of pickles will be.
