The recipes for the fruit soups

Rose wanted me to post the recipes so that she'd have them if she wanted to cook them again.  So here they are:

Rhubarb Strawberry Soup
1 cup diced rhubarb
2 cups sliced strawberries
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar

Cook all together then puree in the blender.  Chill.  Serve cold with a dollop of sour cream for garnish.

Pear Soup
4 cups pear juice
4 pears, peeled, cored and diced
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Simmer everything together until pears are barely tender.  Chill.  Serve with a cinnamon stick in each bowl.  Serve cold.

Apple Soup
Same as pear soup, only use apple juice and apples instead of pears.

Mixed Fruit Soup
2 cups fruit juice
2 cups fresh fruit diced (can be apples, pears, blueberries, peaches, etc. either fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tlb cornstarch
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp lemon juice

Simmer together the fruit and juice until the fruit is tender.  You can choose to either run it through the blender for a smooth soup or leave it in chunks for a clear soup.  Chill or serve hot.  Add a cinnamon stick or fresh mint leaf for garnish.

Blueberry Soup
It's the same as the mixed fruit soup, only use frozen blueberries and 2 cups blueberry juice.

Cherry Soup
1 can cherries (ideally pitted, because otherwise you'll have to pit them)
1 TLB fred wine vinegar
2 tsp sugar

Use the juice from the canned cherries.  Put them with the pitted cherries in the blender.  Add the remainder of the ingredients and blend until smooth.  Chill.
