The story behind<br />
the dish<br />
As soon as the first berries and<br />
fruits appear in gardens and<br />
forests, it is the perfect time to<br />
prepare desserts using Latviangrown<br />
produce! Not only the berry<br />
picking, but the whole preparation<br />
process are what enjoying the<br />
summer in Latvia is all about.<br />
Rather than making this dessert<br />
during the busy working week,<br />
it’s best left for a calm weekend.<br />
Preparing the dessert is very simple<br />
– the secret lies in the mixing<br />
process.<br />
In the past, making cranberry<br />
mousse was a collaborative family<br />
effort, with each family member<br />
taking it in turn to work the<br />
mixture with a wooden spoon –<br />
without a mixer!<br />
The berries used could vary, from<br />
blueberries and blackcurrants<br />
right through to red currants and<br />
gooseberries. Nothing was wasted<br />
– even the seeds were left in the<br />
mixture.<br />
This heavenly delicacy combines<br />
fluffy clouds of mousse, wholesome<br />
wheat semolina and fresh berries.<br />
The dessert is enjoyable in all<br />
seasons – you can simply choose<br />
the berries used according to the<br />
season and, lo and behold, another<br />
flavour! Served with cold milk<br />
from the Latvian countryside, this<br />
dessert is pure bliss.<br />

Families in Latvia have different<br />
names for this dessert – some call<br />
it a mousse, others porridge from<br />
heaven.<br />
With the rapid changes in last<br />
century, we may have moved from<br />
wooden spoons to mixers, but the<br />
dessert is still just as heavenly.
