Pluma Moos is a traditional German Christmas pudding that is typically served during the holidays. The dessert is made with canned fruit such as peaches, pears, and cherries, as well as dried fruit like prunes and raisins. The addition of cinnamon gives the dessert a warm and cozy flavor that’s perfect for the winter months. Pluma Moos is a popular dish in Germany and is often enjoyed with a glass of Glühwein (mulled wine). It’s also a great way to use up any leftover canned fruit you may have in your pantry.

Instructions

1.	Drain the peaches, pears and cherries, reserving the liquid.
2.	Remove any pits from the fruit.
3.	Put all the fruit and dried fruit into a saucepan.
4.	Add the reserved syrup from the cans of fruit.
5.	Add enough water so that the fruit is well covered.
6.	Break up the cinnamon sticks and add them to the pan as well.
7.	Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for approximately 30 minutes, or until thickened.
8.	Stir occasionally so that the mixture doesn’t stick to the pan.
9.	Once it’s done, pour the mixture into jars and let them cool.
10.	Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
