This delicious fruity dessert comes from my German background, notes Marie Baumgartner from her kitchen in Stoughton, Wisconsin. Mom always called it Rote Grütz'. We had a large raspberry patch, so she served it often in summer, when fresh berries were in season. Ingredients:
4 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed, crushed |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1/4 cup quick-cooking tapioca |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 cup 2% milk |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the raspberries, orange juice and tapioca; let stand for 15 minutes. Stir in sugar and salt. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Cover and refrigerate. 2. For vanilla sauce, combine cornstarch and sugar in a small saucepan; gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. 3. Whisk 1/2 cup of hot mixture into the egg; return all to the pan, whisking constantly. Cook and stir over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes or just until the sauce thickens slightly and reaches 160° (do not boil). 4. Remove from the heat. Stir in vanilla. Pour into a large bowl; press a piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap over top of sauce. Refrigerate until serving. 5. Divide raspberry mixture among four dessert dishes; top with vanilla sauce. |
