Prep. Time:

Total Time:

1 day

Ingredients:

1/2 cup dried apples
1/4 cup cherries, pitted
1/2 sm. pear, thickly sliced
2 to 3 plums, halved and pitted
1 qt. vodka
2/3 cup honey
1/8 tsp. ground ginger
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
1/8 tsp. black pepper, freshly ground
1 bay leaf
Flour and water paste

Directions:

Place each of the four fruits in a separate bowl. Cover the fruits with the vodka. Let them stand for five to six hours.

Pour the vodka and the fruits into a crock. Stir in the honey, spices and bay leaf. Cover the crock with its lid and seal the edges with flour and water paste. Bake in a 200°F oven for 10 to 12 hours. Strain the mixture through a sieve lined with a double layer of cheesecloth or muslin. Serve either hot or cold.

Comments from Olga Drozd :

To make the flour and water paste, mix flour with just enough water to make it cohere. Adding a few drops of oil will keep the paste from becoming brittle when it dries.
