Whipped Berry Pudding (Vatkattu Marjapuuro)

Recipe Ingredients

3 cups	711ml	Cranberry juice - bottled or canned
6 tablespoons	90ml	Sugar
1/2 cup	118ml	Uncooked cream-of-wheat

Recipe Instructions

(A Finnish dessert)

In a 1 1/2 to 2 quart saucepan, bring the cranberry juice to a boil over moderate heat. While the juice boils, sprinkle in the sugar, a little at a time, and then slowly add the Cream-of-Wheat, stirring briskly with a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes a thick puree. With a rubber spatula, transfer the puree from the saucepan to a large mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer for the next step. (Although it is possible to make vatkattu marjapuuro with a wire wisk, it is scarcely practical; an hour of vigorous whisking might be required.)

Beat with the mixer set a high speed for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the pudding has tripled in volume, is a delicate pink color and is very light and fluffy. Pour into a large bowl, or individual dessert bowl, and keep no longer than a few hours before serving at room temperature.

Note: If you wish to make this dessert with a nontart juice such as apple, strawberry or raspberry, add a tablespoon of lemon juice.
