Dried Fruit Pudding image

Posted for ZWT6 for Scandinavia leg of tour. When I have small amounts of leftover fruit juice, I combine them in the freezer in one container. Comes in handy when a recipe calls for juice, and I'm out of fresh! Cook time does not include chill time.

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups mixed dried fruit (apricots, prunes, pears, apples)
3 cups fruit juice (or more)
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch ground cloves
3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon honey or 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Core and chop the pears and apples, if needed. Chop the apricots and prunes roughly.
  • Stew the fruit in the juice with the spices on low heat for 30 minutes. Drain and reserve the liquid. Set aside 1/3 cup fruit.
  • Measure the liquid and add more juice if needed to make 2 cups.
  • Stir the tapioca into the juice in a saucepan. Let sit for 5 minutes. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes while stirring constantly. Take off heat and let sit for 20 minutes. Combine with fruit, except the 1/3 cup, and chill.
  • Whip the cream with the vanilla and whatever you are using for sweetening until stiff but not dry.
  • In a large clear glass bowl, or in individual glasses, layer the chilled fruit pudding and the whipped cream, ending with the whipped cream. Decorate with reserved fruit.
