My mother lived in both Tehran and Odessa in her youth, and I believe this one came from the Ukrainian side of the family.<br />One pound of fruit (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants etc.),<br />One pint of water, 5 ounces of sugar (or less to taste).<br />Sieve fruit. Measure juice and to each pint allow two ounces of cornflour. Mix the cornflour and a little cold water. Add to fruit. Stir over heat till it boils. Simmer for 10 minutes. Leave to become cold.<br />We always refrigerated it and blackcurrant kissell is the one I know best, but I am about to use some of our bumper redcurrant crop to make some!

Though in our family we didn't use figs and called it simply "puuviljakissell" aka fruit kissell.<BR/><BR/>Alanna - oh, I'm just being fancy and sophisticated here :P<BR/><BR/>Yulinka - interesting to hear that you eat it with rice and sour cream. I might try that version one day..<BR/><BR/>Johanna - well, you could still try this? Unless you've gone off raisins as an adult..<BR/><BR/>Samantha - you can buy small yellow seedless and very sweet raisins here occasionally which are called kishmish - maybe it's the same grape variety?<BR/><BR/>Andrew - you could certainly use some wine to make a fancy version!!<BR/><BR/>Soma - thank you!<BR/><BR/>Annemarie - simple can be very good indeed..<BR/><BR/>Irene - glad you found your way here, and thank you for your good wishes. <BR/><BR/>Cinnamonda - we have that other fruit soup here in Estonia as well. It's a wintry dessert, but not necessarily a Christmas one..<BR/><BR/>Lennuk - ma pole viigimarjadega proovinud. Aga tegelikult pole paksu puuviljakisselli üldse tükk aega teinud. Olekski aeg..<BR/><BR/>Anon. - I've blogged about cranberry kissell here before, and rhubarb kissell was a staple in our household.
