Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 200 milliliters water
- 3 tablespoons potato starch
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 100 milliliters cream or milk (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut them into halves or quarters if they are large.
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, and 200 milliliters of water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally and let the strawberries soften, releasing their juices, for about 10 minutes.
Mash the strawberries gently with a fork or a potato masher to create a chunky texture. If you prefer a smoother pudding, you can blend the mixture using an immersion blender.
In a small bowl, mix the potato starch with 3 tablespoons of cold water to create a smooth slurry.
While stirring the strawberry mixture continuously, slowly pour in the potato starch slurry. This will thicken the pudding. Continue stirring over low heat for 1-2 minutes until the desired thickness is achieved.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pudding cool to room temperature. Transfer it to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill.
Serve the Jordbaer Grød cold with a drizzle of cream or milk on top for a classic Danish touch. Enjoy!
