Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3/4 cup dried apricot; 3/4 cup dried prune; 6 cups cold water; 1 cinnamon stick; 2 lemon slices, 1/4-inch thick; 3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca; 1 cup sugar; 2 tablespoons raisins; 1 tablespoon dried currant; 1 tart apple (peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices)

Servings: persons

3/4 cup dried apricot
3/4 cup dried prune
6 cups cold water
1 cinnamon stick
2 lemon slices, 1/4-inch thick
3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons raisins
1 tablespoon dried currant
1 tart apple (peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices)

1
In a large 3-quart (or bigger) stainless steel or enamel saucepan, combine the apricots and prunes with the cold water and let soak for 30 minutes.
2
Next, add the cinnamon stick, lemon slices, tapioca and sugar to the pot, and bring to a boil; once boiling, reduce the heat and cover the pan; let simmer for 10 minutes (stir occasionally with a wooden spoon since the fruits can stick to the bottom of the saucepan).
3
After the 10 minutes are up, remove the cover and stir in the raisins, currants and apple slices; simmer for 5 more minutes (the apples should then be soft and tender; if not, simmer a wee bit longer).
4
Pour the soup mixture into a large serving bowl and let cool to room temperature.
5
When soup has cooled, fish out the cinnamon stick, cover the bowl, and chill in the refrigerator.
6
This dessert is served cold, in either dessert dishes or soup bowls; makes for a very light dessert.
