2 lbs mixed dried fruit, all pitted
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup water
4 cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
8 -10 macaroons, crumbled
Directions:
Cover fruits in cold water and soak overnight.

Drain the fruit, reserving the liquid, and place the fruit in a shallow ovenproof casserole or pie plate.
