I grew up in a very Dutch community in Iowa. This is from one of my hometown's community cookbooks. Looks similar to rice pudding. Ingredients:
1 cup pearl barley |
2 quarts water |
1 cup raisins |
1/2 cup sugar |
29 ounces sliced peaches, canned |
prune (optional) |
Directions:
1. Bring the pearl barley, water, and raisins to a boil.
2. Lower heat and simmer for 1.5 hours or until barley and raisins are tender.
3. Add sugar, peaches with juice, and prunes (optional).
4. Boil about 10 minutes.
5. Let cool. The dessert will thicken when cold.
