Combine ingredients and let set 10 minutes, then stir. Cover and let set for 2 weeks, stirring once or twice each week. Repeat this process each 2 weeks with 1 cup fruit, well drained and 1 cup sugar. Do not close decanter or jar tightly and this should be in a clear glass jar or whatever one wishes to use and left in the light. DO NOT put in refrigerator. When jar is full, give a cup to a friend as a starter. Have friend add a cup of fruit and 1 cup sugar 7 days after you give it to her, then wait 2 weeks before adding more and on and on. Of course, use out of this along as you wish when well filled. Use an old nylon hose to cover the jar top, keeps everything out but light and air.
