Rote Grütze (Red Grits)
2 lbs. assorted berries (black, raspberry, strawberry, red currants) or 2 lbs. cherries (sour)
Sugar to taste (about 1/2 cup )
Starch or vanilla pudding
Place berries in heavy pot, brake up a little (potato masher), add some water (to fresh ones), add sugar and bring to boil. Thicken with starch or pudding; texture should be pudding like, not too thick. Pour in bowl and serve either hot or really cold with cold milk or warm vanilla sauce.
Note: Can use frozen berries.
