Method

4 soļi
  1. Rinse the dried fruit in a sieve under warm running water. Soak the apples and pears in the measured water for 1–2 hours (our addition), so they cook evenly with the softer fruit.
  2. Put the apples, pears and soaking water in a pan with the beer or wine, the sugar and the lemon peel. Bring to the boil, then simmer gently, covered, for 10 minutes.
  3. Add the prunes, cherries and rose hips and simmer for 10 minutes more. Add the raisins and simmer, uncovered, for a final 5–10 minutes, until all the fruit is plump and tender and the liquid is syrupy.
  4. Spoon into small dishes, sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar and decorate with the thin strips of lemon peel. Serve warm or cold with roast meat.

Notes

"Baked" fruit

cepti augļi here means dried fruit, the German Backobst, dried in a bread oven as it cooled after baking. That is why the book says to wash it first.

What the book says vs. what we added

dried apples, pears, plums, cherries, prunelles, rose hips, raisins and so on, all stewed the same way in water, wine or beer, with sugar and lemon peel, then served in small salad dishes sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon and decorated with lemon peel. The soaking, the order of adding the fruit, the amounts and the times are ours.

Beer

the book says beer makes the syrup tastier and thicker. Use a malty beer with little bitterness, since hop bitterness grows as the liquid reduces.

Rose hips

buy dried rose hip shells with the seeds removed, or halve whole dried hips and scrape out the seeds and the irritating hairs inside before cooking.

Prunelles were peeled, stoned dried plums. Ordinary prunes do the same job.

Serving

this "salad" is a sweet side dish for roasts, like the stewed apples and plums before it (07-048, 07-049).
