How to Make Fruktsoppa Scandinavian Fruit Soup

  1. In a large 3-quart saucepan, combine the chopped apricots, prunes, and cold water. Let soak for 30 minutes to soften the fruit.
  2. Add the cinnamon stick, lemon slices, tapioca, and sugar to the pot. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. After 10 minutes, remove the lid, stir in the raisins, currants, and apple slices.
  5. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 5 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the soup has slightly thickened.
  6. Remove the soup from the heat and carefully remove the cinnamon stick.
  7. Pour the fruit soup into a large serving bowl. Let cool completely to room temperature.
  8. Once cooled, cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to fully chill.
  9. Serve cold in dessert dishes or soup bowls. Enjoy!
