Swedish fruit soup (fruktsoppa) recipe in Nordstjernan

"Mormor's [grandma's] fruktsoppa or something like it" Nordstjernan http://www.nordstjernan.com/news/food/3225/.

Ingredients ¾ cup dried apricots ¾ cup dried prunes 6 cups cold water 1 cinnamon stick 2 slices lemon 3 Tablespoons tapioca (quick-cooking) 1 cup sugar 2 Tablespoons seedless raisins 1 Tablespoon currants 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and cut into half inch slices

To make it, you either: (1) dump it in a saucepan and boil it; or (2) follow the recipe in the paper. Serve hot (which isn't mentioned in Nordstjernan) or cold (which is). Either way is delicious. You can also make it with fruit juice (e.g. white grape juice) as a stock.

Norwegian word is fruktsuppe. NRK has a recipe at http://www.nrk.no/mat/fruktsuppe-1.6786627 with pineapple, kiwi, passionfruit and pink grapefruit instead of prunes and raisins:

Del ananasen i biter. Skrell appelsinene i båter og skjær dem ut av hinnene, slik at det blir kun fruktkjøtt. Gjør det samme med grapefrukt. Skrell kiwi og del i biter.

Kok opp vann og sukker i en kasserolle. Smak forsiktig til med juice (du trenger ikke hele pakken!) Rør maissena ut i noen spiseskjeer vann og visp jevningen i det kokende vannet. Rør om til du har en passe tykk suppe. Legg all frukten i suppen og klem all saften fra restene av appelsinene og grapefrukten i kasserollen. La suppen småkoke til den tykner litt (blir den for tynn, kan du røre ut litt mer maissena i 3 ss vann).

[trans. by Google: Share pineapple into chunks. Peel the oranges into wedges and cut them out of your ear, so it will only fruit pulp. Do the same with grapefruit. Peel kiwi and cut into chunks.

Boil water and sugar in a saucepan. Taste carefully with juice (you do not need the whole package!) Stir corn sena out in a few tablespoons of water and whisk smooth nobody in the boiling water. Stir until you have a thick soup fit. Place all the fruit in the soup and squeeze all the juice from the remnants of the oranges and grapefruit in saucepan. Simmer until it thickens slightly (it is too thin, you can stir out some more corn senators in 3 tablespoons water).

Google doesn't have it, but maissena is cornstarch, and jevningen means thickening.
