Making Fluffy Pink Porridge

In Finnish this is called puolukkavispipuuro, straight translation being lingonberry whisked porridge, but fluffy pink porridge sounds better right?

It's a pretty special porridge because after you boil it, you let it cool down completely, and then whisk really good to turn it into a light and fluffy consistency that doesn't resemble porridge anymore, perfect.

This is by far my favourite porridge, and it's very delicious and pretty healthy, depending on how much sugar you pour in it. The grain used for this porridge is apparently called semolina in English, it's mannasuurimo in Finnish. You can make this porridge without berries or juice, but then it's really bland, and I don't care for bland, so I always make it with lingonberries, along with using juice my mom has made, that has a variety of Finnish berries. I don't know if anyone else uses different berries, but the traditional way is to use lingonberries, which have a tart taste to them, and it works perfectly for this porridge.

If you want a recipe, you can ask for it in the comments.

Fluffy pink porridge is a very traditional to Finland and I would be interested to know if you make this anywhere else in the world, or some variety of it.

Sort:  

We just got Rød Grød med Fløde in Denmark.
Which is Red porridge with whip cream xD

Had to google, I think that is kiisseli in Finnish. A dessert that looks like snot.

Hmmm... this looks very good 👍😊

It is very good, works for breakfast and a snack :P

I be happy to get it in morning 😋 and it looks same berries what you was pick up in the forest or it was on the moor ?😊👍

Yes, same berries, these exact ones I picked last week in the forest!

Cool this makes this food more fresh :) I hope you have all winter this berries now:)
So you can try make more something cool what this berries :)

I use lingonberries for this porridge and to garnish my Napue gin&tonic 😝

OK..ok :) ..amd Gin&tonic :) Hmmm...
You know what ... You try make one small cake what this berries :) Cakes make as all happy when we get them :)

Oh my God I bet it taste as good as it looks! I love lingonberries💜

You have lingonberries there?

I buy the frozen ones and the juice concentrate at IKEA that’s only place I’ve ever had them

Ahhhh of course Ikea has them! :D

You could sprinkle re-hydrated apples all over that fluff!!!

I'm not yet onboard with the re-hydrating part 😂

I guess if you put it in while still dry, it would add a crunch. ;-)

Damn that looks amazing! best for the cold sunsets of the fall!

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo vispipuuro, the nectar of gods.

I'm not sure I would call it nectar, maybe goo.

Well it depends on how thick it ultimately is...

Smoothies are a hip thing today, so why not vispipuuro-smoothie? A drinkable treat!

I’m a traditionalist (if that is a thing) and I do not believe in ruining a perfect thing by making it into a smoothie, that would be pyhäinhäväistys!
