Recipe Introduction

The folk adage, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," is not only a simple rule for good health but a tip for delicious dining. Apples are grown on every continent and are the fruit of a Eurasian tree, the Malus pumila.

List of Ingredients

20 dried, unsweetened apple rounds or slices
8 dried figs (Calmyrna best)
1-1/2 cups cranberry juice (about)
2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
3 Tablespoons grated orange peel
Pinch of cinnamon
1 teaspoon arrowroot powder (optional)




Recipe

Place all ingredients but arrowroot powder in a 2-quart pot with lid. Bring contents to boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes. Stir occasionally. If desired, thicken juice with arrowroot powder, then bring to a final boil and remove from heat at once. Let stand at least 15 minutes. Serve hot or cold.
