Apple And Pear Pork Ribs Soup

I’ve always love using fruits in cooking and finally I try this. It turns out to be one of the most tasty and refreshing soup I’ve had! It is a very nourishing yet tasty soup. The natural sweetness of the soup is pure bliss.

Ingredients:
1 apple fuji
1 pear
300g pork ribs
1 tbsp sweet almonds (南杏) – also known as sweet apricot kernels or seeds
1 tbsp bitter almonds（北杏）- also known as bitter apricot kernels or seed
2 candied dates (蜜枣）
15 red dates (红枣）
5g yu zhu (玉竹）
2 tbsp dried scallop
1000 ml water

Core the apple and pear, then rinse and chop them into 8 wedges for each one. Set aside

 Rinse pork ribs, blanch it over boiling water. Dish up and set aside.

Rinse candied dates, sweet and bitter almonds, red dates, yu zhu, and dried scallop. Set aside.
Put water in a cooking pot and bring it to a boil. When the water is boiled add in all ingredients in the pot. Switch to low fire and simmer for another 1 hours.

Turn off heat. Add salt to taste. Serve.
