Dried Fruits
Ingredients
Directions
Inspect all dried fruits for quality.
Soak the dried fruits in cold water for 2 to 3 hours until soft and swollen.
Stew the soaked fruits in the same water, adding sugar just before they are fully cooked.
For apple sauce, bake in the oven instead of stewing.
Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).
Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
