Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook for about 45 minutes.

After boiling, strain the mixture to discard the corn, pineapple peels, and spices, reserving the liquid.

Return the reserved liquid to the heat.

Add chopped pineapple, apple, raisins, and peach to the pot.

Add brown sugar to taste and allow the mixture to boil.

In a separate bowl, dissolve sweet potato starch with a little of the reserved liquid.
