I grew up eating that, with the duck blood. We kids called it Chocolate Soup due to its color. My maternal Grandfather always was served the fruit in his bowl. I never knew there was fruit in czarnina until adulthood because I never saw it in my bowl. Ours was served over macaroni and with a splash of vinegar. I have a memory of accompanying my Grandmother to a side of Chene-Ferry market where a woman sold live poultry and would dispatch the duck and collect the blood in a jar. That's a very old, yet vivid memory. Still ate the soup happily after the duck was done for.
There was a place out of Buffalo that you could order a czarnina kit with the duck blood, not sure if that's feasible anymore.
Real czarnina would be my wish for my death row last meal.
