In Dutch called ‘Watergruwel’ or ‘Krentjebrij’. This is one of the first traditional dutch recipes my grandma showed me. However, it is a very sustainable dish and you can be personalized it to your liking. For example, whenever my grandma has homemade blackberry jam she uses that instead of the berry juice. You can eat this dish warm, cold, with whipped cream or maybe even ice cream. I prefer this dish warm topped off with some cold yogurt..
