SWEDISH SWEET SOUP



Swedish Sweet Soup image

This recipe has been passed down in my family for generations. Raisins, prunes, cinnamon, sugar, and tapioca are cooked on the stove, then lemon juice and a dash of salt are added. This is a Christmas tradition in my home. Tastes best after standing several hours.
