Swedish Fruit Soup is “Fruktsoppa” in Sweden. By the way, it is a popular dessert in Sweden and Norway. Incidentally, growing seasons are shorter there, so using dried fruits makes all kinds of sense. By the way, I’m half Swedish and I happen to love their cooking! I’ve loved it ever since eating Grandma Nelon’s cooking! Moreover, there are hundreds of recipes for it. However, this is the one I like. In addition, it keeps well in the refrigerator.
Ingredients for Swedish Fruit Soup:
Dried mixed fruit, an 11-ounce package
Golden seedless raisins, 1/2 cup
Stick cinnamon, 3-4 inches
Water, 4 cups
Unpeeled orange, 1 cut into 1/2 inch slices
Unsweetened pineapple juice, 2 & 1/2 cups
Currant Jelly, 1/2 cup
Sugar, 1/2 cup
Quick-cooking Tapioca, 2 Tablespoons
Salt, 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions for Swedish Fruit Soup:
Combine the first four ingredients in a saucepan and bring them to a boil. Simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Finally, cover and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally. It’s ready to serve, when it is cold. By the way, it tastes better if it sets overnight. That gives the flavors a chance to get acquainted!
I recall inviting my SCUBA diving friends over for dinner back in the 70s! After some delicious Swedish Meatballs, and baked acorn squash, I served this fruit soup. It seems like just yesterday! I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Super glad I did those things when I had the opportunity. Moreover, the memories are priceless. It’s important to share good food; both for the bond it creates and the precious memories. Fixing it again would bring those memories back! Meanwhile, I need to add some things to my grocery list!
By the way, how do your kitchen utensils look? Are they up to the job? If they are rusty, bent, or totally shot, they probably need to be replaced before long. I have a great source for those things, as well as textiles for your table. She has some fascinating things! Incidentally, I’ve seen that automatic waste-bin in action. Especially convenient when you have your hands full. However, I was really surprised the first time one opened for me when I walked by it at a clients home! SEE KITCHEN UTENSILS
