1/2 c. dried prunes
1/2 c. raisins
4 c. water
Approximately 1 c. sugar (to taste)
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
2-3 tbsp. corn or potato starch (mixed in 1/4 c. water)

You may add fruit cocktail if you wish and may add red food coloring to add color.

Bring 4 cups water to a boil, add prunes, raisins, and cinnamon. Simmer until fruit is soft, about 1 hour. Add apples and cook until they are soft. Remove the stewed fruit and measure the remaining liquid. Add enough water to make 4 cups.

Dissolve the start in cool water and add to hot liquid. Cook and stir until thickened a couple of minutes. Mix fruit in, stir gently and chill. Serve with whipped cream. Serves 12.
