MOR-MOR WALLBERG'S FRUKTSOPPA (SWEDISH FRUIT SOUP)



Mor-Mor Wallberg's Fruktsoppa (Swedish Fruit Soup) image

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...

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 c dried apricots, pitted
3/4 c dried prunes, pitted
1/2 c raisins
1/2 c golden raisins or white raisins
6 c water
1 c fruit juice (mixed fruit/white grape-peach/your preference)(i prefer to make strawberry or raspberry gelatin using half the water called for (unrefrigerated) into a juice and omit the sugar.)
2 stick cinnamon - broken in half
1/2 lemon, halved and sliced thin
1/4 c quick cooking tapioca
3/4 c sugar
3/4 c orange - peeled, diced or 1 small can mandarin oranges
1 apple - peeled, cored, and sliced or diced
optional: to spice this up, you can add a pinch of powdered nutmeg or cloves

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.

Provided by รก-825

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 C whole pitted prunes
1 C dried peaches )
1 C dried pears ) Cut these in fairly
1 C dried apricots ) small pieces
1 C raisins (white preferred)
1 large apple peeled, diced and cooked
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 small stick cinnamon (Mom didn't use it)

Steps:

  • Cook prunes and raisins separately All fruit should be cooked SLOWLY, covered with water approx. 1 1/2 to 2 inches above fruit for approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours. May have to add water as fruit swells. Cook about 1/2 pkg Danish Flavor Raspberry or strawbery desert pie filling glaze pudding, according to directions on box. (Will be thick like pudding. Also drain some of the jjuice off first and thicken or cook until clear with 3 T rounded minute tapioca, (that is the juice, not the fruit). Pour tapioca over Danish Dessert, stir. In large bowl put all fruit except prunes and blend carefully. I save prunes for on top of each dish when served. Don't overcook fruit as it will get mushy when heated to serve.

Tips:

  • To make your fruit soup even more flavorful, use a variety of fruits. A good combination is to use a mix of sweet and tart fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and cranberries.
  • If you don't have any fresh fruit on hand, you can use frozen fruit instead. Just be sure to thaw it before using.
  • You can adjust the amount of sugar in the soup to your liking. If you like a sweeter soup, add more sugar. If you prefer a less sweet soup, add less sugar or omit it altogether.
  • Serve the soup warm or cold. It's delicious either way!

Conclusion:

Swedish fruit soup is a delicious and refreshing treat that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful dessert, give Swedish fruit soup a try!
