DANISH APPLESAUCE BREAD CRUMB PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• In a large heavy skillet melt butter over moderate heat and stir in bread crumbs. Cook bread crumbs, stirring constantly and breaking up lumps, until golden, about 5 minutes.
• In a 1 1/2-quart soufflé dish layer 1 cup crumbs, 2 cups applesauce, and 1/2 cup preserves and repeat. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup crumbs on top and bake pudding in middle of oven 25 minutes, or until top is golden brown. Pudding may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Reheat pudding in a 325°F. oven before serving. Garnish pudding with whipped cream and additional preserves.
• Serve pudding warm with whipped cream.
• To make chunky applesauce:
• Peel and core apples and cut into 3/4-inch pieces. In a large heavy saucepan bring water, apples, and sugar to a boil and simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft and starting to fall apart, about 25 minutes. Applesauce may be made 3 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Makes about 5 cups.

DANISH DESSERT

Steps:

• 1. In a small sauce pan, mix dry ingredients together. If you want to add a deeper flavor, you can add more Kool-Aid. If you'd like it sweeter or more tart, adjust the sugar/sugar substitute content. Adding another Tbsp or 2 of the Cassava flour will make the dessert thicker.
• 2. Add water and mix well. The color will be a milky color of whatever flavor you chose, due to the Cassava flour.
• 3. Place pan over medium heat and stir often, to prevent scorching, until mixture is a slow rolling boil. When mixture has become more translucent (except the chosen flavor color), instead of milky (You will see the change as it's cooking. Typically, it will first appear at the sides of the pan.), remove from heat and pour into mold or 4 individual heat-safe cups.
• 4. Refrigerate until cold.
• 5. When cooled, the consistency will be a soft gel perfect for a pie glaze or light pudding. If you used more Cassava flour, it will be a thicker pudding. Serve alone or with fruit or whipped cream.

DANISH RED BERRY PUDDING WITH CREAM

Steps:

• Clean the fruit well; chop rhubarb, if using, into 1-inch pieces. Place into a nonreactive saucepan and cover with 3 cups water. Simmer over medium low heat until the fruit falls apart. Remove from heat and strain juice through cheesecloth or a fine-meshed sieve; dispose of the pulp and seeds.
• Return juice to heat, stir in sugar, and bring to a low boil; reduce heat to medium and add the dissolved corn starch liquid to thicken. Stir the mixture constantly until it begins to gel to the consistency of a heavy syrup. Remove from heat, pour into individual serving bowls, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least two hours
• Serve chilled with either plain or whipped cream.
