Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 oz Dried Prunes -- Pitted
4 oz Raisins
8 oz Dried Apple Slices
8 oz Dried Pear Quarters
1 c Honey -- Clover Or Wild
1 Cinnamon Stick
6 Whole Cloves
2 qt Apple Cider
Juice And Peel Of 1 Lemon

Combine the fruit in a large pot and fill with enough
cider to cover it by a third more. (The fruit will
absorb a lot of liquid.) Add the cloves and lemon
peel. Simmer until the larger pieces are cooked but
not falling apart. Pour off the liquid into a pan and
cook until reduced by 1/3rd. Add the honey, cinnamon,
lemon juice, and fruit. Reheat, stirring. Taste, and
add more lemon juice if needed. It should not be
cloying sweet, the taste of the fruit should dominate.
Serve warm in crystal or clear glass bowls. Keeps in
the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
