How to Make Rote Grtze German Mixed Berry Pudding

  1. Wash 500g mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, currants) and carefully remove any stems or leaves.
  2. Combine the berries with 250ml water and 100g granulated sugar in a medium saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and gently simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the berries are softened but still retain their shape.
  4. Taste and add more sugar (up to 50g more), if desired, to adjust sweetness.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 50ml cold water until smooth and no lumps remain.
  6. Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering berry mixture.
  7. Continue to cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
  8. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of rum (optional).
  9. Set aside approximately 1/4 of the uncooked berries. Roughly mash them using a fork or potato masher and stir into the cooked pudding.
  10. Serve the Rote Grütze warm or chilled. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and enjoy!
