Any kind of fruit will do. I have used apples, blackberries, apricots, peaches, raisons.
Just need to adjust your sugar for tartness, and your cornstarch for juiciness. (Or in case of dried fruit like raisins… more water)
I was going to call her and find out if it was Czechoslovakian or something she'd picked up growing up in Nebraska
