As a kid I grew up eating them with what we called schmutz (Pennsylvania German for dirt, or dirty). It is fruit cooked with sugar and then thickened with corn starch. When I make it now I use only a small amount of sugar, just enough to make it palatable without going over the top sweet.

Funny, I always thought schmutz was Yiddish!
Two germanic languages. They could share a word or have each a very close version.
