Rødgrød med Fløde

Denmark

Used by Danes to identify foreigners — the phrase is nearly unpronounceable to non-native speakers.

Red berry pudding with cream — a deep red compote of summer berries thickened with potato starch, served cold with cream. Famous internationally as a tongue-twister.

1

Simmer berries with sugar and water for 10 minutes. Blend smooth. Strain to remove seeds.

Mix potato starch with cold water. Stir into hot berry purée.

3

Chef's Tip

Add the potato starch to hot (not boiling) juice — adding to a full boil creates lumps.
