Fruktsoppa

[12] Dried fruits used in the preparation of fruktsoppa may include apricots, apples, bilberries, pears,[14] raisins, currants,[15] cranberries, prunes,[3] grapes, cherries,[2] cloudberries, arctic raspberry[16] and peaches.

[4] Additional ingredients may include tapioca, sago, red wine,[14] sugar, lemon juice,[17] cinnamon, and salt.

[2][3][15] Preparation involves soaking the dried fruits and various ingredients for some time to soften them, and then adding water and cooking the mixture until it thickens.

[2] It may be served as a cold soup, and can be stored unrefrigerated for a "reasonable" amount of time.

[4][14] In the United States, fruktsoppa has also been prepared and served both hot and cold before meals as a sauce.
