Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dried prunes
- 1 cup Dried apricots
- 1 cup Dried pears
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 3 whole Cloves
- 6 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Cold water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Rinse the dried prunes, apricots, and pears under cold water to remove any debris, then chop them into bite-sized pieces if needed.
In a large pot, combine the dried prunes, apricots, pears, raisins, sugar, cinnamon stick, cloves, and 6 cups of water.
Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit becomes tender and the flavors meld together.
Discard the cinnamon stick and cloves once the soup has simmered to extract their flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
Gradually add the cornstarch slurry to the fruit soup while stirring constantly. Allow the soup to simmer for another 3–5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Stir in the lemon juice to balance the sweetness. Taste and adjust with more sugar or lemon juice, if needed.
Remove the pot from the heat and let the Plumi Moos cool slightly. Serve it warm or chilled as desired. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
