Friendship Compote

1 (8 ounce) can apricots with juice
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks with juice
1 (8 ounce) jar maraschino cherries with juice
1 (8 ounce) can fruit cocktail with juice
4 cups granulated sugar

Mix all ingredients. Put into a clear glass jar with a loose-fitting lid. Do not refrigerate. Each week add 1 of the above fruits and 1 cup sugar. After two weeks give away 2 cups. Always keep 2 and give 2 away. This is wonderful on top of ice cream.
