Rote Grütze is a traditional German dessert made with red berries, such as raspberries, red currants, and strawberries. It is a popular dish in the summer months, when fresh berries are in season. Rote Grütze can be served as a dessert or as a topping for pancakes or waffles. It is also sometimes used as a filling for cakes and pies. The berries are typically stewed with sugar and cornstarch to create a thick, syrupy sauce. Rote Grütze is often served with cream or vanilla ice cream.

(rota-gritz-ah) This is the stuff kids in the the Barossa Valley, in Australia, grow up on. The Silesian migrants brought the recipe when they settled the Valley however it was made with berries in their homeland. Usually served as dessert with cream, it can be eaten as breakfast during festivals. Preferred grapes are Shiraz or Mataro (Mouvedre). Please note: start with fresh grapes not juice - I had to do the recipe this way for Zaar. Hard to give exact measurements as depends on juiciness of grapes. (Australian tablespoon = 20mL)

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:
- 1. In a large saucepan, combine berries, wine, cinnamon stick, and sugar. Cook over low heat until berries are very soft, about 20 minutes. A texture to the pudding is desirable, so don't overcook lest all the berries liquefy. 2. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and water until dissolved. Add starch mixture to the berries and stir well to avoid lumps. Simmer for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick, and pour the berry mixture into a bowl or container. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes, then cover and thicken in refrigerator for at least 2 hours, up to overnight. Vanilla Sauce: 1. Bring milk to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Set aside. 2. Whisk egg yolks, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl until the mixture is thick and well-blended. 3. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Return to pan. 4. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 15 - 20 minutes, or until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Do not allow sauce to boil. 5. Immediately pour into a glass bowl and stir in the vanilla. 6. Cover the top of the sauce with plastic wrap to prevent a skin. Refrigerate until needed.
