1 T. whole allspice

1 tsp. whole cloves

¾ C. packed brown sugar

1/3 C, white vinegar

Drain peaches and apricots, reserving juice. Set fruit aside. Place allspice and cloves on a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners of cloth and tie with kitchen string to form a bag. In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, vinegar and reserved juice. Add spice bag and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil; boil for 5 minutes. Discard spice bag and cinnamon. Add the pineapple, peaches and apricots. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until heated through. Serve warm or at room temperature.
