“Rode Gröde.”* (Mrs. Forster, Reinacharn. 1875.)
1 pt. fresh or bottled fruit, 1 pt. of water; let it boil for an hour and strain. Sweeten and flavour with vanilla; to each pt. of juice allow 2 tablespoonfuls of arrowroot or of cornflour, mixed in a little cold water; add to juice and boil 5 minutes. Pour into a shape. Serve with whipped cream and almonds, like tipsy cake. (If you use raspberries you will require 3 pts. of fruit.)
* Röde Gröde (? a Scandinavian dish). A similar recipe is known in Germany, and very popular, as “Rothe Grütze,” where it is made with ground rice or sago.
