Assorted Fruit Soup:
Refreshing and Delicious
As Some Healthy Snacks

If you've never had a good assorted fruit soup, now is the time to try it. On a hot summer's day, for some healthy snacks it is refreshing and delicious. If it is possible, try this in the height of summer when fruits are at their freshest straight from the farmer's market.

• 2 Lbs. peaches, peeled, pitted and chopped
• 2 Lbs of plums, peeled, pitted and chopped
• 1 Lb. of pears, peeled, cored and chopped
• 1 Lb. sour cherries, pitted
• 1 Lb. apricots, peeled, pitted and chopped
• 1/2 cup honey or 100% pure maple syrup
• Water to cover
• 1 T. arrowroot
• 1 cup cold water

Place all the fruit and the sweetener in a 6 quart stock pot. Add water to cover. Cook on low approximately 1/2 to 3/4 hour until fruit is tender. Mix the arrowroot in the cold water until it is dissolved. Add it to soup. Bring the mixture to a boil on high stirring constantly. Reduce heat back to low and allow to cook for 3-5 minutes more. Remove from heat, cool and serve at room temperature or refrigerate and serve cold. (Try it both cold and at room temperature. Some people prefer it more one way or the other).
