As a Finn, I can guarantee that this is the real deal! The way its been made by all our Grannies there. It's always made with tart berries, typically also with red-, white- and black currants. -
Wow! Total winner here, this was so super easy to make and utterly delicious. Will make it again and try other berries and maybe pineapple juice instead of water and sugar. Very versatile.<br/>I used millet farina to be gluten free, and it worked out perfectly. Thanks for sharing!<br/>Made for Ramadan Tag / N*A*M*E Forum. -
Easy! One could use a number of other fruits: fresh berries in season, peaches, etc. I liked the taste best well chilled. A good use for 1 cup of leftover frozen organic cranberries from Christmas time. Thanks for posting! Perfect balance of tart/sweet. Reviewed for Veg Tag/July. -
ridiculously easy as well as delicious! Made a great dessert. -
A recipe my grandma made and it's just as I remember it! She called it lappa pudda as well, we called it purple pudding because she used blueberries too.

I made this tonight, except instead of Farina, I used cream of rice, so that my DH with his potassium limited diet could have some. I did have to increase the amount I used by 1/4 cup to obtain the proper consistency. All together though even with the subsitution this was darned good, EddieBear enjoyed it without complaining, and so did I. Very delicious, and well worth the making. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, I will be making it again and again.
