Fruit Soup

Description: From an Old Betty Crocker Cookbook. This recipe uses dried fruit(whatever you like). And is pretty failproof. I'm going to attempt making it on my next backpacking trip! Can be served hot or cold! For me it makes a hot Winter comfort food. Right up there with hot chocolate.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups assorted dried fruits (i like apples, cherries, peaches and apricots)
• 3 cups water (try using half grape juice)
• 1/2 lemon, sliced
• 1 tablespoon tapioca
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cinnamon stick

Steps:

1. Mix everything in saucepan and cook covered 30-40 minutes . Can be served hot or cold.
2. You can cut the fruit into smaller pieces but i usually leave everything as it is. Try adding a bit of ginger some time too.
