Why are two kinds of berries used?

The finest, whole berries are preserved as they are, while the less attractive ones are used to make the juice they are placed in. This way the entire berry harvest is used.

Must the juice be cold before it is poured over?

Yes, the original explicitly says cold juice. That way the whole berries hold their shape and are not cooked soft.

About the dish

Fra «Kogebog for skole og hjem» av Henriette Schønberg Erken og Caroline Steen (1900), falt i det fri. En sparsommelig metode der de peneste bærene bevares hele i saft kokt av de minste – ingenting går til spille.

How to make it

Boil juice from the smallest berries

2
Put the whole berries in a jar
Place the choice, whole, cleaned berries in a clean jar.
3
Pour over the cold juice
