Dessert: Red Grits
The perfect dessert: red grits recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
- 1 kg Strawberries
- 400 g Cherries fresh
- 400 g Raspberries
- 300 g Blackberries
- 1 Lemon
- 750 g Preserving sugar 2: 1
- 2 Msp Ground vanilla
- 500 ml Water
- Wash the strawberries, cut in half or quarter, wash and stone the cherries, carefully sort the raspberries, wash the blackcurrants (cross between gooseberries and blackcurrants) and remove the ends.
- Put the fruit in a large saucepan. Add vanilla, water and preserving sugar and bring to the boil while stirring. Add the lemon juice. As with jam, let it boil for at least 4 minutes.
- Since this amount of grits would have been way too much for us today, I filled three screw-top jars with the grits so that I could have a quick dessert if needed.
- I usually tie grits with cornstarch. Today I worked with preserving sugar for the first time because I didn’t dare to fill glasses with cornstarch. I am delighted with the result. This time, after the posts in the forum, I did not turn my glasses upside down and still they tightened with the usual cracking. Thanks Mimi for this tip.
- You can use all seasonal fruit for groats. I also like to use currants, gooseberries and rhubarb to make groats.
