Description:

Plumi Moos, a German/Mennonite delight, is a cherished recipe passed down through generations, often becoming a family favorite. Its rich flavors make it a versatile treat, equally delightful when served alone, with a dollop of fresh cream, or alongside a scoop of your favorite ice cream. This recipe is not only a crowd-pleaser but also jars well, making it a perfect homemade gift or a delightful addition to your pantry. Feel free to use two medium-sized bags of mixed dry fruit instead of measuring for added convenience.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups water
• 1 cup dried prunes
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup bing cherries
• 1/2 cup sour cherries
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup milk

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fruit Mixture:

   • In a medium saucepan, combine the water and dried fruits (prunes, raisins, bing cherries, and sour cherries).
   • Cook the fruit mixture over medium-high heat until the fruits are tender and the raisins and dates are beginning to plump, stirring occasionally. This should take approximately 20 minutes.

2. Create the Paste:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and milk until a smooth paste forms.

3. Thicken the Mixture:

   • Once the fruits are tender, pour the prepared paste into the saucepan with the fruit mixture.
   • Stir continuously to ensure the paste is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
   • Continue to cook the mixture over medium-high heat until it thickens to your desired consistency and the fruits are tender. This step is typically to personal preference, so adjust the cooking time according to your desired thickness.

4. Serve or Store:

   • Once thickened to your liking, remove the Plumi Moos from heat and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
   • Enjoy warm as a comforting dessert, or let it cool completely and refrigerate for a chilled treat.
   • Plumi Moos can be served on its own, paired with a scoop of ice cream, or used as a topping for pancakes or waffles.
