3/4 c. dried apricots
3/4 c. dried prunes
6 c. cold water
1 cinnamon stick
2 lemon slices (1/4 inch thick)
3 T. quick cooking tapioca
1 c. sugar
2 T. raisins
1 T. dried currants
1 tart apple, peeled, cored and sliced
Soak the apricots and prunes in 6 cups of cold water for 30 minutes in a large stainless steel or enamel pan. Add cinnamon, lemon, tapioca and sugar and bring to a quick boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Add the raisins, currants and apple slices and simmer an additional 5 minutes or more until the apples are tender but have not disintegrated. Pour the mixture into a bowl and cool to room temperature. Remove the cinnamon stick and serve at room temperature or place in the refrigerator for later serving.
