Yield: Approximately 7 Qts. Sherilyn's Notes: If fruits are overly ripe, cook celery, peppers, onions and apples at least 30 minutes ahead of adding ripened fruit. Then add ripe peaches, pears and tomatoes. OR, if using under ripe peaches and pears this also works well. If using under ripe fruit, everything can be combined initially. Because I like a thicker type pickle and I increased the amount of fruit in this recipe from the original recipe. The original recipe as it was given to me is below.
