Berry pudding with vanilla sauce
August 10th, 2019 | Süßes
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.
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.)
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.

Madeira: Kebabs, Poncha and Bolo de CACO
We ate the best Bolo de Caco on the village square in Monte above Funchal on Madeira island. The atmosphere there was special. It was lunch time, we were – away from the hustle and bustle of basket sled tours and cableway – alone in the square, apart from some mangy dogs hanging around and taking sometimes a sluggish effort to chase a pigeon. And there we discovered BOLO DE CACO.

When I was a child I did not like kale. I qualified this statement when I travelled to Shanghai and tasted sea cucumbers. Today I eat kale, but I still don’t like our traditional German way to prepare kale. Too fat, too ugly, too heavy. And then this sausage called „Pinkel“?!? Last autumn I gave kale a second chance. I must admit it’s a very tasty vegetable. It’s only a matter of how to prepare it. Try this.

A clear game soup with deer meat balls is a festive affair. Just right as a starter for Christmas! The broth is easy to prepare and can be cooked well before the festive season. Also, the deer dumplings can be prepared in advance and frozen. So to say, an appetizer that comes from the cold… for a relaxed Christmas for the cook.
