To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have red berry compote (rote gruetze) using 6 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Red Berry Compote (Rote Gruetze):
- Make ready 600 g mixed berries: strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, currants, sour cherries
- Get 0.5 l cherry or black currant juice
- Take 1/2 vanilla pod (or few drops vanilla extract)
- Make ready 3 tbsp starch
- Get 1-2 tbsp cassis liquor, optional

Its consistency is like a soft pudding and we like to pour some vanilla sauce (custard) on. This light, fruity dessert is a German summertime staple - a mixed berry compote with custard.

Instructions to make Red Berry Compote (Rote Gruetze):
- Wasch and clean fruits and drain on a kitchen towel. Remove cherry pits, cut big strawberries into half or quaters. Remove stem of the currants. Cut the vanilla bean into half and grate out the pulp.
- Let the vanilla pulp and bean together with the juice come to a boil. Dissolve starch in 3-4 tbsp water and add to the boiling juice. Let cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
- Add the prepared fruits (and liquor if you like) to the hot juice mix and let them heat up but make sure not to overcook them. So I recommend to remove the fruits from the stove once they are all covered by the hot juice. Don't cook it for more than 1-2 minutes. Add sugar to taste (I used only 2 tbsp this time since the fruits were already super sweet).
- Store in a container, let come to room temperature and then store it in the refrigerator (should be good for a week atl least).
