	I think this may be the recipe you are looking for. 

3 cups fruit juice (apple, cranberry, grape, orange, or
         pineapple -- use one kind or several)
one-half cup raw farina  (NOT INSTANT)
one-half cup real maple syrup 
	OR one-third cup honey
june of one-half lemon
dash cinnamon
dash nutmeg
one-half pint heavy cream, whipped
	OR one-third cup yogurt
one cup fresh fruit
        (coarsely shredded apples, sliced fresh peaches,
         sliced, hulled strawberries, pre-cooked and
         slightly sweetened cranberries, etc.)

	Heat juice and maple syrup or honey to boiling.
        Stir in farina.  Cook slowly, stirring constantly,
until thick and smooth (8-10 minutes). 
        Pour into a large bowl and whip until light and
fluffy (about 15 minutes). 
	Fold in fresh fruit and whipped cream or yogurt.
	Chill at least one and one-half hours.
        Spoon into dessert dishes and serve.  Top with
berries or nuts or a dusting of nutmeg, if desired. 
YUM!
