Rote
Gruetze
(Red Groats) |
|
1
quart strawberries
1 quart rasperries or 2 bags frozen mixed berries, 12 oz. each 1 pint blueberries 1 pound sour cherries, pitted (or the same amount canned cherries) |
1 large bottle
(48 fl. oz.) red fruit juice strwberry,cranberry or cranberry/cherry
|
|
Clean
and prepare all fruit, removing stems. Place about two thirds of
the fruit in a large saucepan, reserving one third for later. Pour
juice into pan. Slowly bring contents of the pan to a boil over
medium heat. Meanwhile, measure cornstarch into a small bowl and
add a little cold water to make a smooth liquid. Remove the pan
with the hot fruit mixture from the heat, add the cornstarch mixture
to the fruit in a thin stream, stirring constantly. Return pan to
a low heat, again stirring constantly, and bring back to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for about one minute. Add the remaining third
of fruit, lemon juice and cinnamon to taste. Stir well to mix, and
allow to cool. The consistency should not be as firm as jello or
as runny as custard, but just that perfect point between. Transfer
to a decorative bowl. Serve with a jug of cold milk or half-and-half
for pouring on the gruetze. Rote Gruetze is meant to be quite
tart, so please do not add any sugar; the milk makes it somewhat
milder.
Note: this is a delicious, chilled fruit stew. |
