Barossan Rote Grutze Red Grape Sago Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• Combine berries and sugar in non-stick saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil while stirring constantly.
• Whisk cornstarch into cold water in a small bowl until dissolved completely; stir into the berry mixture. Reduce heat to medium low and cook mixture at a simmer until it begins to thicken, about 3 minutes.
• Remove berry mixture from heat. Stir lemon juice and vanilla extract into the berry mixture; transfer to a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.

Steps:

• Extraction of juice from grapes: either use the finest setting on a food mill or puree the grapes in a food processor and strain the juice through a sieve, pushing down on the solids to extract as much juice as you can.
• Measure the juice into a non-reactive saucepan and bring it gently to a simmer. For every 550 mL of juice, gradually stir in 2 tablespoons sago. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until sago is clear and pearl-like. Watch as it can stick easily. This should take 45-50 minutes.
• Pour the rote grutze into a serving dish and allow it to cool. Chill, allowing it to set slightly.
• Serve with beautiful rich, runny cream.

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups currants, the sugar, wine, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer until berries are soft, about 1 minute. Puree in a blender. Pour through a fine sieve into a bowl (you should have about 1 3/4 cups).
• Return strained puree to pan; bring to a boil. Add remaining currants, return to a boil, and skim if necessary. Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup water until cornstarch dissolves, then whisk into currants. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until boiling in center and mixture looks clear, about 5 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
• Divide mixture between 6 small glasses. Chill until set, at least 1 1/2 hours and up to 8 hours. Dollop whipped cream on top, and serve with fresh currants.

Steps:

• In a small pot bring the fruit juice or water, vanilla and sugar to a boil.
• Meanwhile combine starch and cold water in a small bowl and stir to mix.
• When water is just starting to boil, add starch mixture.
• Let it come to a full boil; make sure to stir well as the starch will form lumps if you don't.
• Mix in berries and turn off the heat.
• Let your pot stand on the hot stove top for one or two more minutes, stirring once or twice.
