Barossan Rote Grutze Red Grape Sago Pudding Recipes

BAROSSAN ROTE GRUTZE (RED GRAPE SAGO PUDDING)

Steps:

• Extraction of juice from grapes: either use the finest setting on a food mill or puree the grapes in a food processor and strain the juice through a sieve, pushing down on the solids to extract as much juice as you can.
• Measure the juice into a non-reactive saucepan and bring it gently to a simmer. For every 550 mL of juice, gradually stir in 2 tablespoons sago. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until sago is clear and pearl-like. Watch as it can stick easily. This should take 45-50 minutes.
• Pour the rote grutze into a serving dish and allow it to cool. Chill, allowing it to set slightly.
• Serve with beautiful rich, runny cream.

CHILLED MANGO SAGO PUDDING

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil, add sago and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Stir in sugar, mango nectar, evaporated milk and coconut cream.
• Simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring once in a while to prevent sago and milk from burning.
• Simmer until liquid has almost evaporated.
• While still hot, stir in mangoes and scoop about 1/2 cup of the mixture into serving glasses/bowls and let cool.
• If you like you can puree the mixture slightly with a blender or stick-blender before scooping into individual bowls.
• Chill for several hours before serving, and serve with extra chopped mango if desired.

EASY-TO-PREPARE HONEYDEW SAGO PUDDING

Steps:

• Soak sago in water for 5 minutes.
• Bring milk to a boil- keep stirring or else the milk will stick to the bottom of the pot.
• Add sugar to milk.
• Drain the sago and add sago to milk.
• Cook milk/sago mixture until sago changes colour (it will change from white to translucent after a couple of minutes).
• Add diced honeydew after milk/sago mixture has cooled.
• SERVE CHILLED!
• (P. S: you might want to add more sugar to if you like it sweeter, and you might want to add more milk if you find the mixture too thick).
