DANISH CHRISTMAS RICE PUDDING WITH ALMONDS AND WARM CHERRY SAUCE



Danish Christmas Rice Pudding With Almonds and Warm Cherry Sauce image

Danish Christmas rice pudding with warm cherry sauce or Risalamande is traditionally served on Christmas Eve. Whoever finds the hidden almond receives a small gift. I like this recipe because it is cooked entirely on the stove top and cooks in one hour, rather than in the oven for two hours or more. Can be made in advance and refrigerated until serving time. The Danes often buy a store bought cherry sauce, but I've included a recipe for home-made. :) Adapted from an online source.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups full-fat milk
1/3 cup short-grained white rice (65 g)
1/2 vanilla pod (reserve the other half for the sauce)
1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 cup almond paste (or use almond flakes or finely chopped almonds)
1 whole almond (more if you have several children present)
1 1/2 cups frozen pitted cherries (about 185 g)
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 vanilla pod
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons cold water
1 tablespoon potato starch (corn starch can be substituted)
fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)

Steps:

  • Split half of the vanilla pod length ways, scrape out the seeds.
  • Place the milk and vanilla in a heavy-bottomed pan. Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat. Add the rice gradually, stirring constantly.
  • Increase the heat and bring to a boil again.
  • When the milk boils, reduce the heat, cover and simmer on a very low heat for about 1 hour or until the rice is cooked. Stir from time to time, making sure that the rice doesn't stick too much to the bottom.
  • Leave to cool completely.
  • Whip the cream together with sugar. Fold the whipped cream and almonds into the rice. You can add more sugar or more almonds if you wish. Serve with warm cherry sauce.
  • Now make the cherry sauce. Place the cherries in a medium saucepan. Add sugar and 1 1/2 cups water. Add the vanilla pod. Simmer until the cherries are tender.
  • Combine the potato starch with 2 tablespoons cold water.
  • Bring the cherries to a boil. Remove the vanilla pod from the pot. Reduce the heat, and , stirring constantly, slowly pour the water with the starch. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and serve warm over the rice pudding. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf, if desired.
  • * I used frozen sour cherries in this recipe, but regular sweet cherries should work as well.

Categories     Cherries

Time 1h10m

Yield 3 pints

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lbs pitted cherries (about 4 and 1/2 unpitted)
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3 cinnamon sticks
1 1/2 tablespoons almond extract
1 cup cold water
3/4 cup corn syrup

Steps:

  • Wash and pit cherries (if you don't have a pitter, a sturdy straw works).
  • In a large saucepan combine sugar, cinnamon sticks, almond extract, water and corn syrup.
  • Over medium high heat bring to a boil, stirring often to prevent scorching.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer and add cherries.
  • Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Remove cinnamon sticks.
  • Ladle hot sauce into hot sterile jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space.
  • Wipe rims and adjust 2 piece caps.
  • Process 10 minutes in a boiling water canner.
  • **To thicken sauce for serving, combine 1 T cornstarch and 2 T's water in a medium saucepan.
  • Whisk well to remove any lumps.
  • Add 1 pint Danish Cherry Sauce and bring to a boil, cooking until sauce reaches desired thickness.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries have a brighter flavor and a better texture than frozen or canned cherries. If you can, use organic cherries to avoid pesticides.
  • Pit the cherries before cooking: Pitting the cherries before cooking will save you time and effort. You can use a cherry pitter or a paring knife to remove the pits.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: A heavy-bottomed saucepan will help to prevent the sauce from scorching. It will also help to distribute the heat evenly throughout the sauce.
  • Cook the sauce over medium heat: Cooking the sauce over medium heat will help to prevent it from boiling over. It will also help to preserve the flavor of the cherries.
  • Stir the sauce frequently: Stirring the sauce frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. It will also help to incorporate the sugar and cornstarch into the sauce.
  • Taste the sauce before serving: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the sweetness and tartness to your liking. You can add more sugar or lemon juice as needed.

Conclusion:

Danish cherry sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be made with just a few simple ingredients. Whether you are serving it on pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or yogurt, Danish cherry sauce is sure to be a hit.
