Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dried apricots
- 1 cup Dried prunes
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Dried apple slices
- 5 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick
- 2 pods Cardamom pods (crushed)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
Rinse the dried fruits (apricots, prunes, raisins, and apple slices) under cold water to remove any surface impurities.
In a large pot, combine the dried fruits and 5 cups of water. Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the sugar, cinnamon stick, and crushed cardamom pods to the pot. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the fruits are tender and have plumped up.
Add the lemon juice to the soup and stir to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
Gradually pour the cornstarch slurry into the soup while stirring continuously. Allow the soup to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Remove the cinnamon stick and cardamom pods from the pot.
Let the soup cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or chilled, depending on preference.
