Just another of my numerous fruit soup recipes that I've had around for a long, long time! Although the original recipe called for pitted prunes [they usually get bad press!], the more correct & modern term is pitted plums! Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups dried plums, pitted, quartered |
3/4 cup dried apricot, quartered |
1/2 cup golden raisin |
4 cups water |
2 cups orange juice |
1/3 cup granulated sugar |
3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 inches cinnamon sticks |
6 whole cloves |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine plums, apricots, raisins, water, orange juice, sugar, tapioca & salt.
2. Break cinnamon stick into 3 pieces & put them & the cloves in a cheesecloth bag, then add it to the fruit mixture.
3. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat.
4. Cover & simmer 30-40 minutes, or until fruit is tender.
5. Remove spices & serve either hot or cold.
