Food Friday: Plumi Moos

aka Fruit Soup - more of a compote than a soup, really.



Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup dried apples
  • 1/2 cup prunes
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup dried peaches
  • 1/4 cup dried apricots
  • 1 litre water
  • 125ml sugar (1/2 cup)
  • 3ml cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon)
  • pinch of salt
  • 15ml cornstarch
Directions
  1. Cut larger bits of fruit into medium-sized pieces and cook in water until very soft.
  2. Add the cornstarch, sugar and salt to a bit of water and stir to make a paste. Add to the cooked fruit and stir well. Bring to a boil and cook a few minutes until thickened.
  3. Serve hot with cream.
(You can use different kinds of dried fuits if you wish; enough to make 2 cups in all.)

Keep coming back! I'm going to be having a Mennonite theme for the recipes for January and February, like we had an Ethiopian theme in December.

We are well; back into school and work, starting all the various lessons... Tomorrow it's skiing lessons!
