 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    4       oz           Dried Prunes -- Pitted
    4       oz           Raisins
    8       oz           Dried Apple Slices
    8       oz           Dried Pear Quarters
    1       c            Honey -- Clover Or Wild
    1                    Cinnamon Stick
    6                    Whole Cloves
    2       qt           Apple Cider
                         Juice And Peel Of 1 Lemon
 
   Combine the fruit in a large pot and fill with enough
   cider to cover it by a third more.  (The fruit will
   absorb a lot of liquid.)  Add the cloves and lemon
   peel.  Simmer until the larger pieces are cooked but
   not falling apart.  Pour off the liquid into a pan and
   cook until reduced by 1/3rd. Add the honey, cinnamon,
   lemon juice, and fruit.  Reheat, stirring. Taste, and
   add more lemon juice if needed.  It should not be
   cloying sweet, the taste of the fruit should dominate.
   Serve warm in crystal or clear glass bowls.  Keeps in
   the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
