This is so delicious! It goes together very quickly and easily, and the result is so good! I've never had fruit soup, so it was a new experience to me. I used only half the sugar listed because it seemed like all that fruit and juice would make it plenty sweet alone, and it was, for my palate. When it was hot, it reminded me of a spiced rice pudding or a spiced cider--a very delicous, autumn flavor. Cold, it was like pie filling! Yum yum, I might make a pie out of this sometime. Thanks, Syd!
