You can think of it as dessert or breakfast. I make it normal. Russians make it untolerably sweet. You probably never made it at all. Try, do.

Ingredients
1 huge cup of dried apples

1/2 cup of sultanas

1/2 cup dried plums

a few dried figs, apricots, strawberries or whatever you have

2 tbsp potato starch

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp cardamom

1 l water

sugar according to taste (if you use shop-bought fruit, they are probably sugary, add no more than 2 tbsp)



to serve:

whipped cream or ice cream or thick sour cream

Method
1. wash the dried plums and raisins.
2. leave all of the fruit to soak for at least 6 hours or overnight, then drain.
3. Fill the pot with fresh water, bring to boil and add dried plums, cook until half done. then add apples, after a few minutes the other fruits.
4. add cinnamon, sugar and cardamom.
5. mix potato starch with a bit of water, drizzle into the hot soup while stirring quickly.
6. turn off the heat.
