Steps:
- In a large 3-quart (or bigger) stainless steel or enamel saucepan, combine the apricots and prunes with the cold water and let soak for 30 minutes.
- Next, add the cinnamon stick, lemon slices, tapioca and sugar to the pot, and bring to a boil; once boiling, reduce the heat and cover the pan; let simmer for 10 minutes (stir occasionally with a wooden spoon since the fruits can stick to the bottom of the saucepan).
- After the 10 minutes are up, remove the cover and stir in the raisins, currants and apple slices; simmer for 5 more minutes (the apples should then be soft and tender; if not, simmer a wee bit longer).
- Pour the soup mixture into a large serving bowl and let cool to room temperature.
- When soup has cooled, fish out the cinnamon stick, cover the bowl, and chill in the refrigerator.
- This dessert is served cold, in either dessert dishes or soup bowls; makes for a very light dessert.
MOR-MOR WALLBERG'S FRUKTSOPPA (SWEDISH FRUIT SOUP)
I'm of mixed European heritages. My two grandmothers were Swedish and Italian/French so my cooking influences are varied and eclectic. This recipe is something that my Swedish grandmother, and later my mother, made during holidays among other very traditional dishes such as Limpa (Sweet Rye Bread) so now it's become a comfort...

Steps:
- 1. In a large saucepan, soak the apricots, prunes, and raisins in 6 cups of water for 30 minutes.
- 2. Add juice (or gelatin mixture), cinnamon, lemon, tapioca and sugar (and optional nutmeg or cloves) and bring to a boil.
- 3. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 4. Uncover and add the apple slices and simmer an additional 5 minutes, or more, until the apples are tender.
- 5. When the soup is "done", the fruit should be plumped and tender and the consistency of the "soup" should be similar to a cooked pie filling before it's cooled. If this does not happen (I've had this happen at different altitudes, etc.), mix tapioca starch with a little cold water and add to the mixture, a little at a time, until the consistency is right. Add a little water or juice if the mixture is too thick.
- 6. Pour the mixture into a bowl and cool at room temperature. Remove the cinnamon sticks.
- 7. Can be served warm, room temperature, cold, or frozen. The most common accompaniment is cream or ice cream.
- 8. To each serving: 1 tsp Wine, rum, cognac or other liquors can be added, at serving time, to make this into an adult version or during cooking to add to the flavor.
FRUIT SOUP (FRUKTSOPPA)
My grandma always served this traditional Swedish dessert to guests. Any dried fruit can be used. I use apples, cranberries, prunes, dates, raisins, apricots, whatever I have. From the "Swedish Food" cookbook, which suggests serving this with Swedish rusks.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a variety of fresh, ripe fruits. Frozen fruits can also be used, but they will not have the same flavor as fresh fruits.
- If you are using frozen fruits, thaw them before adding them to the soup.
- You can adjust the amount of sugar in the soup to your liking. If you like your soup sweeter, add more sugar. If you prefer a less sweet soup, reduce the amount of sugar.
- If you want a thicker soup, you can add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, add the slurry to the soup and stir until thickened.
- Fruit soup can be served hot or cold. If you are serving it hot, reheat it over low heat until warmed through. If you are serving it cold, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Conclusion:
Fruit soup is a delicious and refreshing dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up fresh fruits, and it is also a healthy and nutritious snack or meal. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a fruit soup recipe that everyone will enjoy.
