      Title: FRUKTSOPPA (OLD-FASHIONED FRUIT SOUP)
 Categories: Swedish, Soups/stews, Fruits
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
    3/4 c  Dried apricots
    3/4 c  Dried prunes
      6 c  Cold water
      1    Cinnamon stick
      2 sl Lemon; 1/4" thick
      3 tb Quick-cooking tapioca
      1 c  Sugar
      2 tb Raisins
      1 tb Dried currnats
      1    Tart cooking apple; peeled,
           -cored & cut into 1/2"slices
 
  Soak the dried apricots and prunes in 6 cups cold water for 30
  minutes. Since the dried fruit expands considerably as it absorbs the
  soaking liquid, you will need a saucepan (of stainless steel or
  enamel) with a capacity of at least 3 quarts. Add the cinammon stick,
  lemon slices, tapioca and sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat,
  cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden
  spoon to prevent the fruits from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  Stir in the raisins, currants and apples slices and simmer an
  additional 5 minutes, or until the apples are tender and offer no
  resistance when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife or skewer. Pour
  the contents of the saucepan into a large serving bowl and let cool
  to room temperature. Remove the cinammon stick, cover with plastic
  wrap and refrigerate to chill. Serve the fruit soup in compote dishes
  or soup bowls as a light year-round dessert.
