This is pure summer! Now it’s the season of strawberries, cherries, currants, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries and you can find them in abundance on the markets and fruit farms. In this dessert, the sweet fruits are wrapped in fresh, cool jelly. That does not only look gorgeous, but also tastes heavenly.

Berry pudding with vanilla sauce

There are no limits to the choice of fruits. Take what the market or even your own garden gives. Combine what you feel like. The only rule: they should be red and ripe!

The trick: you can also prepare the berry pudding with frozen berries. It works just as well and, above all, it tastes just as good as made with fresh fruit. You will save the work of cleaning the fruits and, for example, pitting the cherries.

If wanted you can make the redcurrant juice freshly from about a kilogram of currants and 100 g of sugar. Either with a juicer, if you have one, or you boil the fruits with very little water and then pass everything through a fine sieve. But you can also buy a good redcurrant juice ready, that’s no problem either.

If there are no children sitting at the table, you can also replace the juice with red wine and season with a dash of Cassis.

Berry pudding with vanilla sauce

(10 servings – Attention: The dessert must be cooled for at least 4 – 5 hours, better over night.)

500 ml red currant juice

bring to the boil

13 sheets of gelatine

soak for 10 minutes in cold water, let the sheets slide into the water one at a time, so that they do not stick together, squeeze and add to the hot juice, stir until the gelatine has dissolved

600 g frozen (or fresh) mixed berries

pour into the hot juice and fill in a cold rinsed Guglhupf baking dish, allow to cool for at least 4 - 5 hours, then turn out on a cake plate

some stalks of mint or lemon balm

serve the forest berry pudding garnished with mint or lemon balm and with a vanilla sauce

My recipe for a vanilla sauce is very simple but very delicous because it’s flavoured with a dash of rum. In case you already prepare the wild berry pudding with red wine and Cassis, I would recommend to make the vanilla sauce without the rum. „The more the better“ then doesn’t work 😉

The vanilla sauce is also perfect with red fruit jelly.

Vanilla Sauce

Lisa Bunn und ihr Mann bei der Weinprobe am Fass

Women’s power and the color lilac

I would describe myself as a wine lover, but definitely not as wine connoisseurs. I know if I like the taste of a wine or not. And, Yes, I confess that the label of a bottle for me is not quite irrelevant. Therefore, maybe my favorite color lilac was somewhat of a guide when I placed my first wine order in Nierstein [also known as Riesling city at the banks of river Rhine]. Because Lisa likes lilac. Now, the shooting star of the young German wine makers has promised to give her personal wine recommendations for selected Captain’s Dinner menus. And this is the way it happened.
