Rote Grütze
 
Rote Grütze is a specialty from Northern Germany. It is a dessert made with fresh red fruits, along with sugar, thickeners, fruit juice, and often liquors.

Historically, this dish was made with grits and fruit juice (without the addition of whole fruits), which made it very grainy and heavy. This is where the name Rote Grütze came from - it means "Red Grits" in German. 
 
Region:  Northern Germany 
 
Serving Suggestions
Rote Grütze goes very well with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a vanilla sauce
