Christmas Soup Recipe
In addition to serving it as a summertime meal, I put this traditional Mennonite soup on our Christmas lunch table along with an assortment of cold sandwiches and salads
* 12 Servings
* Prep: 30 min. + chilling
Ingredients

* 3 packages (8 ounces each) mixed dried fruit (4 cups)

* 1 package (3 ounces) cherry gelatin
* 1 can (16 ounces) pitted tart cherries, undrained
Directions
