Ingredients

  • 1 cup gorgod (skinless whole wheat)
  • 3 ½ quarts water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup California apricots, finely chopped
  • 1 cup raisins (currants or yellow)
  • ½ cup pistachios
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts
  • Garnishes:
  • ¼ cup finely chopped filberts (hazelnuts)
  • ½ cup slivered almonds
  • ½ toasted pecans or walnuts
  • Ground cinnamon, to taste
  • Pomegranate seeds

Directions

1

. In a 6-quart pot, combine wheat and water. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Cover and let rest overnight.

2

2. Remove cover. Return to simmer. Simmer gorgod until water begins to thicken. The lower the simmer, the “whiter” the pudding will remain. After about 1 ½ to 2 hours of simmering, add the sugar and continue to simmer. The pudding will begin to take on a thicker consistency.

3

3. While wheat is simmering, combine fruit, pistachios and pine nuts in a small saucepan with water. Bring to a gentle simmer and allow to cook for about 15 minutes. Thoroughly drain. Add to pudding when pudding is cooled so that fruit will not bleed color into pudding.

4

4. Pour into serving bowl. Garnish with filberts, slivered almonds, pecans or walnuts and cinnamon.

5

5. Pomegranate seeds should either be incorporated into pudding uncooked or served separately as a garnish.
