Thickened Fruit
An Edstrom Family Sabbath Tradition
- Canned Fruit Our favorites are: Pears, Peaches, Plums and/or Apricots~Commercially canned fruit is best because it usually retains it's firmness and texture better than home-canned fruit
- Cornstarch
- Cold Water
- Whole Wheat Toast
- Heavy Cream
Drain the juice from canned fruit into a saucepan and heat to a gentle boil.
Meanwhile, dice the drained fruit with a knife while still in the can(s).
Then mix the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl or cup till it’s a smooth slurry. (should resemble milk)
Slowly stir the water-cornstarch slurry into the hot fruit juices, stirring constantly until the juice is thick and clear. Lower the heat and stir in the cubed fruit pieces until hot.
Serve over 1/2”-1” cubes of toast and top with heavy cream.
~Do NOT omit the cream, as it will not taste nearly as good!~
