Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring the six kinds of dried fruit and the water to a boil in a large, heavy saucepan. Simmer gently about 20 minutes, until the fruit is plump and tender.

  2. Step 2

    Add the cherries, apples, cranberries, lemon, cloves, cinnamon sticks and sugar to taste. Cover and simmer 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Grate the orange, reserving the grated peel. Peel off the rest of the skin and divide the orange into segments. Add them along with the grapes and brandy. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.

  4. Step 4

    Add reserved grated orange peel and let the mixture stand for 15 minutes. Serve warm or chilled.
