"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.

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).
