Chiiłchin (Red Sumac Berry Pudding)

1. 1

   Mix together water and red sumac in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Boil for about 3-5 minutes to extract the flavor and color from the berries.

2. 2

   Remove from heat and strain the mix through a sieve into another pot to remove excess berries and seeds. Set aside and reserve.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, whisk together the flour and cold water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Using a whisk slowly pour the slurry into the hot sumac in a small stream while whisking vigorously as not to create huge lumps.

4. 4

   Return the saucepan to medium heat and continue to stir until it starts to thicken and bubble.

5. 5

   Remove from heat and stir in the sugar. Serve hot or warm.

6. 6

   Note: adjust texture. If too tight or thick, add water a tablespoon at a time. If too thin or loose, make slurry again according to the measurement of the recipe and add a portion of the slurry at a time while cooking on low.
