Directions
1. Place all the fruit and sugar in 6-quart pot and cover with water. Cook until fruit is tender, ½-¾ hour.
2. While fruit is cooking, mix arrowroot and water. When mixture is completely dissolved add it to soup (around 10 minutes before soup is finished). Bring to a simmer for remaining 10 minutes. CHILL NOTE: This is may read gourmet, but it is a very OLD Jewish soup and my Bubbe made it on those hot summer nights when nothing else would do. You can vary the fruits. I had forgotten about it until I had my memory jogged on one of the cruises Dad and I took.
