This tastes exactly like spiced apple cider. We used dried apricots and plums. If I made this again, I would only use 1/3 of the amount of dried fruit. I re-stewed the dried fruits and spices along with additional water and sugar four more times and continued to get a nice, strong drink. We made this for a Russian-themed meal.
