SUGOLI CON MOSTO D'UVA

AKA GRAPE MUST PUDDING

Captured by The Recipe Hunters in Italy

Sugoli con Mosto d'Uva is a traditional dessert pudding made from the must of grapes (freshly squeezed grape juice). The pudding was historically eaten by wine harvesters during the weeks before the wine production. It was considered a wholesome, nutritious meal when served with bread and was thought to provide these laborers with ample energy to aid them in withstanding the long hours of grape harvesting. In Emilia Romagna, the grapes used to make the must are different variations of the Lambrusco grape. The dessert is made by slowly adding grape must to flour, stirring the flour, and then heating and cooling the mixture to obtain the desired texture and consistency.
