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.
