Directions:
STARTER
DAY 1:
Cut sliced peaches up into chunks and pour into a gallon glass jar along with the juice from the can. Add 2 1/2 c. sugar. Stir each day for 10 days. Cover jar with a saucer and leave sitting at room temperature. DO NOT REFRIGERATE OR COVER WITH LID.

DAY 10:
Add pineapple and juice from can. Add 2 1/2 c. sugar. Stir for another 10 days. The mixture will foam when stirred and color will change.

DAY 20:
Add cherries once you have chopped them. DO NOT ADD JUICE. Add 2 1/2 c. sugar and stir for final 10 days. The cherries will give the mixture a pinkish color.

DAY 30:
You are ready to bake your cakes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a tube or bundt pan. If you make all 3 of the cakes at one time, loaf pans can be used.

Drain fruit in starter into a large bowl. Pour the juice into 3 pint jars. These are for your new starters. One to keep and 2 to give to friends. Cakes made with the fruit must be baked within 3 days. Peaches must be added to starter juice within 3 days to begin new 30 day cycle.
For one cake, pour 1 box cake mix, 1 box pudding, 4 eggs and 2/3 c. oil into large bowl. Mix thoroughly with a spoon. Add 1 1/2 c. drained fruit or 1/3 of total fruit removed from starter. Blend thoroughly with a spoon. DO NOT USE ELECTRIC MIXER. Add 3/4 c. raisins, 1 c. nuts and 3/4 c. coconut.
Bake for 55-65 minutes or until done.
