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.

Indonesian Gado Gado – a delicious “blend”
Gado Gado is an Indonesian national dish (one of the few without rice) that could be described as a large, colorful vegetable plate with exotic peanut dressing. If Gado Gado is served in the crew mess, my dearest captain usually gets a bright and proud message from an Indonesian crewmember: “Today it’s Gado Gado, Captain!” Because he likes this dish so much, we now prepare it at home from time to time…

Fish market? No, homie, „FrischeParadies“ [paradise of freshness]!
Thirty years ago you could buy super fresh fish directly at the fish market in Hamburg. Today, only a handful of cutters are pinning at the pontoon of the fish auction hall. So where do the Hamburg people buy fish today, especially if they don‘t want to get up Sunday morning at 4 o’clock? I swear on FrischeParadies. Nowhere else in Hamburg you’ll find such a well-stocked and wonderfully presented fish display as in FrischeParadies. And where do you find this paradise for foodies? Of course, in the Große Elbstraße [Great Elbe Street]. Where else.
