Norwegian Sweet Soup



This is an old traditional recipe that I got from my Auntie Inga who left this world several years ago.  She was, without a doubt, the sweetest woman I ever knew.  I have Norwegian roots in three out of four of my grandparents so many of the things we ate, or the traditions we kept, were from Norway, but I didn't know that.  It was just the way our family did things.

Auntie Inga lived to the age of 95 in her own home.  Undoubtedly, one of the secrets to her longevity was her attitude to life, but she was also careful about what she ate because she was diabetic.  So even though it's called "Sweet Soup", the sweetness comes from the fruit.  It could also be called "sweet" because it helps keep you regular!
