Try this great way to have fruit this fall. It makes a great dessert or a refreshing snack after raking the leaves.
Plums 1/2tsp ginger
Pears 1 tsp cinnamon
Apples ¼ cup red sweet wine
Grapes ¼ cup honey or ¼ cup raw sugar/turbinado
water to cover
Mix the fruit or use only one variety.
Peel the fruit except the grapes. Cut up into ½ inch chunks and place into a pot large enough to hold the fruit. Place all the other ingredients into the pot with the fruit and bring to a boil. Turn down flame and allow to simmer for about 1 hour. Serve warm or cold.
This recipe will replenish fluids without taxing the spleen energy. The ginger, cinnamon & wine serve to counter balance the cold nature of the fruit, strengthen the spleen energy and move the blood (which helps keep you warm).
