Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Rhubarb stalks
- 200 grams Mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 liter Water
- 40 grams Potato starch
- 50 milliliters Cold water
Instructions
Wash and peel the rhubarb, then cut it into 1-inch pieces.
If using fresh berries, wash and hull them as needed. For frozen berries, allow them to partially thaw.
Bring 1 liter of water to a gentle boil in a medium saucepan.
Add the rhubarb pieces to the boiling water and let simmer for about 10 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
Add the mixed berries to the saucepan and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the granulated sugar and adjust the sweetness to taste. Let the mixture simmer for another 2 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the potato starch with 50 milliliters of cold water to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the potato starch mixture into the saucepan, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Cook the pudding on low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat as soon as the desired consistency is reached.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly, then transfer to a serving bowl or individual dishes. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
Serve the pudding warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla sauce.
