⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, and red currants)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • Optional: Fresh mint for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Berries

Wash and hull the berries if needed. Place them in a saucepan with 1 cup of water.

Cook the Berries

Bring the berries and water to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the berries are soft and have released their juices.

Sweeten

Stir in the granulated sugar and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved.

Thicken the Mixture

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry.

Gradually stir the cornstarch slurry into the berry mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.

Cool

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the Rødgrød cool to room temperature. The dessert will continue to thicken as it cools.

Serve

Enjoy your meal!
