In any case, this is a dessert they used to serve at the Chinook, and I'll be bringing it to Hot Biker Chick Anne's for dinner tomorrow night.
Rote Gruetze
Serves 6-8
Fruit Mixture:
1/2 pound sour cherries
1/2 pound raspberries
1/2 pound boysenberries (or blackberries)
1/2 pound sweet cherries
4 ounces sugar (or to taste)
4 tablespoons corn starch
- Place all of the berries into a sauce pot. Bring to a simmer.
- Take a couple tablespoons of the juice out and mix it up with the corn starch
- Mix this back into the berry mixture to thicken it. (Can adjust with more cornstarch if needed).
- Pour into a clean stainless steel container and cool. Place in individual glass bowls.
- Top with some vanilla sauce.
1 quart heavy cream
1 vanilla bean (or 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract)
3 ounces sugar
3 egg yolks
- Mix cream, vanilla and sugar.
- Pour mixture into a sauce pot and heat to 125 degrees.
- Remove about two ounces of the cream from the pan to temper your eggs by pouring a little of the mixture into the eggs, whisking and then pouring that mixture back into the pan.
- Finish cooking and stirring using a wooden spoon. Vanilla sauce is done when it coats the back of the spoon. Pour into a stainless steel bowl and cool.

Thanks for the preview, Janiece. It made my mouth water just reading about it.
Between you and Michelle, I'm going to have to get a bigger recipe file!! Gee that looks good!

Wendy, Michelle and Anne are both much better cooks than I am.
Just put a basket of onion rings in front of me and I'm good.
They're all fancy, and make stuff from scratch.
How come you have never served this to me?
:-)
Hmm.... I wonder how I could modify that recipe to get rid of the vile and horrible cherries.
:)
Obviously it's because I don't hold you in high regard.
Oh, wait - I did serve this at BTB one night.
MAD COW!
Michelle, I don't like the cherries, either, which is why this is not my favorite.
Hey, I'm with you on the onion rings. When its Vidalia season here in Georgia I make a complete and utter pig out of myself every year! Rings, pie, with bratwurst, you name it!!
btw, I'm single and live by my self, usually don't make much from scratch any more simply because so much goes to waste and you can't always cut a recipe down to a single portion...ah, yeah, I need half an egg please...
