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
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the rhubarb, then cut it into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
If using fresh berries, wash and hull them as needed. For frozen berries, allow them to partially thaw.
Step 3
Bring 1 liter of water to a gentle boil in a medium saucepan.
Step 4
Add the rhubarb pieces to the boiling water and let simmer for about 10 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
Step 5
Add the mixed berries to the saucepan and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
Stir in the granulated sugar and adjust the sweetness to taste. Let the mixture simmer for another 2 minutes.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the potato starch with 50 milliliters of cold water to create a slurry.
Step 8
Slowly pour the potato starch mixture into the saucepan, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Serve the pudding warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla sauce.
