Categories     Desserts

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound mixed berries (fresh or frozen (see notes))
2/3 cup red fruit juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoons sugar (more to taste)
3-4 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • If you're using fresh fruit, wash the fruit and dry it. Remove the pits, stems, etc., and cut them into smaller pieces where necessary (e.g. when using strawberries). If you are using frozen berries, take them out of the freezer.
  • Add the red fruit juice to a medium-sized pot.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 3-4 tablespoons of fruit juice from the pot. Mix until the cornstarch has dissolved.
  • Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the fruit juice in the pot and mix. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove it from the heat. Pour in the dissolved cornstarch while whisking constantly.
  • Now add the fresh or frozen berries to the pot with the thickened fruit juice. Stir gently to break as few berries as possible. Return the pot to the hot burner and let the berries simmer on low heat for a few minutes. This will take slightly longer for frozen berries than for fresh berries.
  • Once you are happy with the consistency of the berries, pour or ladle the Rote Grütze into bowls. Don't worry if it still appears liquidy, it will get a firmer consistency as it cools. You can sprinkle some sugar on top of the berries or cover them with cling film (it should touch the top of the berries) to avoid skin from forming. Place the bowls in the fridge to chill.
  • You can serve Rote Grütze with cold unwhipped cream, vanilla sauce, vanilla ice cream, or normal whipped cream.
