▢ 1 pound dried mixed fruit either from a bag of mixed dried fruit or your own combination
▢ 1 cup golden raisins
▢ 2 quarts cold water + 2 cups water divided
▢ pinch of salt
▢ 2 cinnamon sticks
▢ 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
▢ ⅓ cup minute tapioca
▢ 1 cup white grape juice (white or dark is fine)

Cut the dried fruit into bite size pieces. Bring the dried fruit, raisins, 2 quarts water, salt and cinnamon sticks to a boil for high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the mixture is thick and the fruit is tender, about 45 minutes. Add the sugar, 2 cups water and tapioca. Bring the mixture back to a boil and let it cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the soup thickens.
Remove from the heat and add the grape juice. Chill and serve.

Swedish Fruit Soup can be made ahead of time and stored in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days prior to serving.
