| Ingredients: 4 - 6 apples
1 cp. raisins
2 pears (optional)
6 - 10 plums, or small package of prunes (optional)
1 cp. chopped rhubarb (optional)
2 peaches (optional)
2 cps. water
1 - 6 Tbsp. sugar
2 - 4 Tbsp. potato flour or corn starch
1 cp. red wine (optional)
Directions:1. Peel fresh fruits, take out seeds, and cut into biggish pieces. Add dried fruits, water, and simmer for 60 - 90 minutes.
2. Remove from heat. If you desire you can mash the cooked fruit, so that a smoother consistency is achieved. Add some of the sugar and, if desired, red wine. Taste it, and add more sugar if desired.
3. Add 2 Tbsp. of starch for a soup-like consistency, more if you want it to be more like a jelly. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Let boil for 2 minutes, or until desired thickness is reached.
4. Remove from heat, and cool. Best served at room temperature, or can be refrigerated. Serve with milk, cream, or over vanilla ice cream.
