A number of years ago I was given a starter "rum pot" which was non-alcoholic. Every two weeks you added fruit and sugar. The first week was a cup of cherries, 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of cherry juice, two weeks later you added 1 cup of pineapple and 1 cup of sugar and two weeks after that you added 1 cup sliced peaches and 1 cup of sugar. Adding fruit followed the same order over the years. This mixture was in a glass jar with a loose fitting lid. You could never let the mixture get under 3 cups. I would like to know how to start the "rum pot" from scratch as I no longer have my original mixture. Does any one know how to start this? The mixture was used to make what was called a Rum Pot cake.
