- Pit the fruit, cutting larger fruit into quarters (pit cherries over a bowl to catch juices and add in them to the pot). Remove 1/2 c. fruit, chop and reserve for garnish, tossing with a little lemon juice. Chill in a covered container.
- Combine the remaining fruit and the water in a nonreactive pan. Bring to a boil, then simmer till the fruit is very soft, 15 to 25 min, depending on fruit.
- Cold slightly, then pass through a food mill or possibly puree in a blender or possibly processor. Return to the pan; add in the sugar, cloves, cinnamon and lemon zest. Bring to a near boil; reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 8 min. Remove the whole spices and lemon zest.
- Dissolve the arrowroot or possibly cornstarch in a little cool water. Add in to the simmering soup and cook, stirring, till the soup is clear and lightly thickened.
- Add in the wine and return to a simmer for 2 min; don't let the soup boil.
- Remove from heat and add in the optional almond extract and lemon juice to taste. Add in more sugar, if you like.
- Transfer the soup to a covered container and chill till chilled, at least 4 hrs or possibly overnight. Taste for sweetness and acidity, adding more sugar and/or possibly lemon juice if you like. Stir in the reserved minced fruit.
- Serve in small bowls or possibly large c., swirling about 1 Tbsp. creme fraiche or possibly lowfat sour cream into each serving just till streaked.
- This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
- Comments: In Germany and Austria, this soup is most commonly made with cherries, preferably a mix of sweet and sour cherries, but apricots, peaches and plums also work well.
