Rote Grütze
Serves 415 mins prep15 mins cook
Rote Grütze is the perfect, light summer dessert made from flavorful ripe berries that are simmered with some juice, vanilla bean, and cinnamon. The spices bring out the rich red fruit flavors. Serve with vanilla ice cream because, in my opinion, there isn't much that’s more satisfying when you're craving something refreshing and sweet at the same time. If you would like to make rote Grütze during the colder months, frozen mixed berries are an option, although using fresh, ripe berries makes your Grütze taste much better!

Instructions
0 With a sharp knife, cut the vanilla bean lengthwise in half, scrape the seeds and reserve for later. 1 In a medium pot, add the juice, sugar, cinnamon stick, vanilla bean, and 4 ounces (125 ml) of water and heat to boiling over high heat. Add half of the fruit, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fruit has softened, about 10 minutes. 2 In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and cold water; add to the pot. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat and stir until the mixture has thickened. Stir in the remaining fruit and the vanilla seeds. Remove from the heat and let cool for about 5 minutes. 3 Serve warm or cold with vanilla ice cream or vanilla sauce.View original recipe
