Recipe - Asure (Fruit And Nut Soup)

1 cup White beans
1 cup Garbanzos
1 cup Barley
1 cup Dried apricots; cut up
1 cup Raisins; cut up
One half cup Figs; cut up
1 cup Sugar; or to taste
Water to make about four
quarts
One half cup Filberts; toasted
One half cup Walnut pieces
Ground walnuts for topping

The night before, rinse and soak the beans (garbanzo and white together)
and the barley in 2 different bowls. In the morning, drain and cook until
tender, again in 2 pans. In a large pot, combine beans, barley, fruit,
sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fruit
is very soft and barley starch is released. Correct for sweetness; stir in
filberts and walnuts. Allow to cool or refrigerate, if desired. Serve as
snack or dessert with walnuts sprinkled on top.
