4 1/2 c. dried fruit
2 tbsp. cornstarch
4 1/2 c. water
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 1/2 c. sifted flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3 tbsp. sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. butter
3/4 c. milk

Cut up dried fruit. Place fruit and water in 3-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil and just simmer 15 minutes or until tender. Combine cornstarch (use 1 tablespoon if you like it runnier), 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Stir into hot fruit mixture. Pour into an 11 x 7 x 1 1/2-inch baking dish.

Sift together flour, baking powder, 3 tablespoons sugar and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add milk and stir until moistened. Drop by spoonfuls over the top of the fruit mixture. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serves 4-6.
