My German grandma used to make Apfelmus - applesauce. This Amish recipe intrigued me because of the Pennsylvania Dutch name - although it contains more than just plums (prunes).

A German/Mennonite delight. My father in law's favorite. Great for kids or with ice cream. Jars well. You can use to medium sized bags of mixed dry fruit instead of measuring.

"JUST FOR DAD" PLUMA MOOS (CHILLED FRUIT SOUP)



My father was German-Mennonite and grew up eating this chilled fruit soup. When I was about 15, I found a recipe for it and made it for him. He said it was the "best ever"! I'm sure he was just boosting my self-confidence as a new cook, but I was so proud that I'd made a dish that reminded him of his youth.
