How to Make Rote Grtze
- **Prepare the Berry Mixture:** In a 1-quart measuring cup, combine 1 cup raspberry juice, 1/2 cup pureed strawberries, and 1/4 cup cherry juice.
- **Adjust Volume:** Add enough grape juice to reach the 1-quart mark.
- **Transfer to Saucepan:** Pour the berry mixture into a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- **Add Grape Juice:** Add 2 cups of grape juice to the saucepan.
- **Sweeten and Zest:** Stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar, the zest of 1 lemon, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
- **Bring to a Boil:** Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. This prevents scorching and ensures even cooking.
- **Make the Cornstarch Slurry:** In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch and 1/4 cup white wine until smooth and lump-free.
- **Thicken the Sauce:** As soon as the mixture boils, slowly pour in the cornstarch slurry while whisking vigorously to prevent lumps.
- **Simmer to Perfection:** Immediately reduce the heat to low, and continue to cook and stir for 3-5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens, returns to a boil, and the raw starch taste is gone.
- **Add Berries:** Gently stir in 1 cup fresh raspberries and 1/2 cup fresh cherries.
- **Finish Cooking:** Continue to heat and stir for another minute.
- **Cool and Chill:** Remove from heat and let the Rote Grütze cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- **Prepare the Whipped Cream:** Shortly before serving, beat 1 cup heavy cream with 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar until soft peaks form. Do not over-whip; the cream should still be pourable.
- **Serve:** Spoon the chilled Rote Grütze into stemmed goblets or dessert glasses. Top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream and enjoy immediately.
