How to Make Barossan Rote Grutze Red Grape Sago Pudding

  1. **Juice Extraction (15 mins):** Use a food mill or puree approximately 1.1 kg of fresh Shiraz or Mataro grapes and strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. You should aim for approximately 550ml of juice.
  2. **Gentle Simmer (5 mins):** Pour the grape juice (550ml) into a non-reactive saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
  3. **Sago Addition (2 mins):** Gradually whisk in 40ml (2 tablespoons) of sago pearls, ensuring no lumps form.
  4. **Simmering & Stirring (45-50 mins):** Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The sago pearls will become clear and translucent.
  5. **Cooling & Setting (15 mins):** Once the sago is cooked, remove from heat and pour the Rote Grütze into a serving dish. Allow to cool completely before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the pudding to set.
  6. **Serve (5 mins):** Serve chilled Rote Grütze with a generous dollop of thick cream or whipped cream.
