In German Moos (pronounced “mouse”) is a “dried fruit sauce” or dessert stew. Often called “pluma moos” as well. It is most delicious, a dessert of love and amazing for the Holidays!
Grandma Kasper was an amazing cook and everything she made was memorable! During the Holidays, this special Moos was a dessert, a treat, a snack and a wonderful addition to the flavors we remember being present during the Holidays.
What we wouldn’t give to hear her singing in her farmhouse kitchen while preparing her Holiday meals & Holiday Moos! You really must try this one!

So easy and so delicious!
