Here are the three squeeze-pop fruit combos I am going to go with:

Cranapple
1 #10 can appplesauce
1-2 bags fresh cranberries in season, cooked IN a bit of the applesause (or 2-3 cans of whole-cran sauce)
(Might add a little oat flakes (baby cereal) to correct fiber/texture)

GrapeApple
Same as above with fresh grapes in season. They freeze without further processing.)

Pineapple Cocktail
1 #10 can fruit cocktail
4 cans (Campbell-soup size) drained, chopped pineapple

Peach Mandarin
1 #10 can sliced peaches, rough-chopped
4 cans (Campbell-soup size) drained and rough-chopped mandarin oranges

Melon Cocktail
See Pineapple above, use chopped honeydew in season.


NOTES
For all of the above, remove as much syrup as easily possible and freeze for other uses. "Rough-chop" means just a tad bigger than fruit-cocktail-sz chunks-- think med. grape size. Be sure to de-chem any fresh fruits used before processing.

FOOD IS YOUR FRIEND.
