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).

3/4 c raisins

Steps:

  • 1. Soak the dried fruit and cinnamon 8 hours or overnight in the water. After soaking, simmer fruit in the same water for 1/2 to 1 hour or until fruit is soft.
