This recipe came from my Grandmother, Ida. My Mom used to make it when I was a kid (although I wouldn't try it back then). It is a great soup and can be made with any fruit. We eat it warm. I haven't tried it cold. The dumplings absorb the goodness of the fruit juice and it really is a nice treat. The cook times are approximate as there is no set rule for how long the soup can cook.
