8 medium bananas, peeled
4 medium oranges, peeled
1 medium grapefruit, peeled
2 medium lemons, peeled
2 limes, peeled
5 c. sugar

Slice bananas very thin. Quarter oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and limes (discard seeds). Slice very thin. Combine fruits and sugar; set over moderate heat and stir until the sugar is melted. Bring to a boil and simmer about 45 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid scorching. Seal in hot sterilized glasses. This makes a delicious sauce for vanilla ice cream.
