Cut the dried fruit into bite size pieces. Bring the dried fruit, raisins, 2 quarts water, salt and cinnamon sticks to a boil for high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the mixture is thick and the fruit is tender, about 45 minutes. Add the sugar, 2 cups water and tapioca. Bring the mixture back to a boil and let it cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the soup thickens.
