Wild Highbush Cranberries

The cranberries are done.  It's a good year for them.  I usually make cranberry jelly because it's my mom's favorite.  This time I'm going to make something called "vispipuuro"-Finnish Air Pudding.  My neighbor told me how she used to make it in the winter and use the snow to cool it.  I think I'll make it inside and just  use icecubes.

Finnish Air Pudding-Vispipuuro
2 cups fresh cranberries
3 cups water
1 cup sugar-more or less to taste
1/3 cup Malt-O-Meal

Put cranberries and water in a saucepan and boil until juice is very red in color.  Strain juice off of berries.  Add 1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup Malt-O-Meal and cook over low heat until the mixture has thickened.  Cool to room temp and place pan in a larger pan of cold water and ice.  Beat with mixer until pink and fluffy.  Serve with whipped cream or milk.

I'm juicing the berries right now in my Mehu-Liisa (Finnish Juicer).

I'm learning a lot from my Finnish neighbor.
Here's one more picture.  This one is just thrown in because I thought it was so doggone cute...
This is my daughter's new puppy, a little English Cocker.

Have a pleasant, blessed evening.

That is so great that your Finnish neighbor is willing to teach you about new-to-you foods. I recently gave a good friend some green beans from our garden and she gave me the recipe from her mother for making a green bean and homemade noodle dish that sounds WONDERFUL. (I'd never heard of anything like it.) We can learn so much from folks who are will to share their recipes of real cooking with us. Love it!

You daughter's little pup is adorable.
