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.

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.

Tips:
- Use a variety of fruits: The more variety of fruits you use, the more flavorful your soup will be. Some good options include strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, apples, pears, and peaches.
- Don't overcook the fruit: The fruit should be cooked until it is soft but still holds its shape. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a light sweetener: If you want to sweeten your soup, use a light sweetener such as honey or maple syrup. Sugar can make the soup too sweet and overpowering.
- Add some spices: Spices can add a lot of flavor to your soup. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom.
- Serve with a dollop of yogurt or cream: A dollop of yogurt or cream can add a nice richness and creaminess to your soup.
Conclusion:
Fruktsoppa is a delicious and refreshing soup that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy meal, give fruktsoppa a try!
