• While the fruit mix is simmering on the stove, cut the bottom of your cantaloupe half (so as to not rock) and with your fruit baller, dig out 2 cups cantaloupe adding it to the rest of the fruit in the pot. Reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until fruit is soft.
• Allow fruit to cool down. When ready pour half of fruit mixture into blender. Blend until smooth. Repeat with the remaining mixture and chill until ready to serve.
• Spoon into bowls, garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream and orange rind.

FRUKTSOPPA (SCANDINAVIAN FRUIT SOUP)

Steps:

• In a large 3-quart (or bigger) stainless steel or enamel saucepan, combine the apricots and prunes with the cold water and let soak for 30 minutes.
• Next, add the cinnamon stick, lemon slices, tapioca and sugar to the pot, and bring to a boil; once boiling, reduce the heat and cover the pan; let simmer for 10 minutes (stir occasionally with a wooden spoon since the fruits can stick to the bottom of the saucepan).
• After the 10 minutes are up, remove the cover and stir in the raisins, currants and apple slices; simmer for 5 more minutes (the apples should then be soft and tender; if not, simmer a wee bit longer).
• Pour the soup mixture into a large serving bowl and let cool to room temperature.
• When soup has cooled, fish out the cinnamon stick, cover the bowl, and chill in the refrigerator.
• This dessert is served cold, in either dessert dishes or soup bowls; makes for a very light dessert.
