   overnight; do not drain.
2 In a large saucepan over low heat, simmer the barley
   for one hour. Then add the sugar, raspberries and raisins
   and simmer for another 30 minutes. Add the cherries and
   simmer for another 15 minutes, or until the soup becomes
   relatively thick. Allow to chill in the refrigerator and serve cold.
