About Cranberry Kissel (Dzērveņu Ķīselis)

Ērika Baltiņa recommends this cranberry kissel in a collection of Latgale's traditional food and drink recipes. It is a smooth cranberry preparation thickened with potato starch and accompanied by milk.

Sugar balances the fruit, while vanillin adds its aromatic note. The recipe also includes a sprinkling of sugar over the surface, giving the cranberry portion a sweet finish.

The kissel is served cooled in a vessel with milk alongside it. The combination brings together concentrated cranberry flavour, a smooth starch-thickened texture and the contrasting dairy accompaniment.
