How to Make Finnish Rhubarb Berry Pudding

In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups chopped rhubarb, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender and has broken down slightly.
Gently mash 1 cup of mixed berries (such as raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries) with a fork. Add the mashed berries to the rhubarb mixture.
Stir in an additional 1 cup of water.
Return the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth.
Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering rhubarb and berry mixture. Continue to cook and stir for 2-3 minutes, or until the pudding has thickened.
Remove from heat and let the pudding cool completely. This allows the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
Serve chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of granulated sugar and a dollop of whipped cream (optional).
