traditional irish apple barley pudding
Back on the farm in Ireland this dish was a way to use up leftover apples after the harvest. I just happen to have some extra apples myself and while on the hunt for something to do with them, I found this interesting recipe. It only calls for five ingredients--what could be simpler?

How To Make traditional irish apple barley pudding
-
Step 1In a heavy pot, bring water and barley to a boil. Add sliced apples and simmer until barley and apples are soft, about 30 to 40 minutes.
-
Step 2Remove mixture from heat and place in a blender or food processor. Puree until nearly smooth.
-
Step 3Return mixture to the pot and stir in the 1/4 cup sugar and the lemon juice. Bring to a second boil and boil gently for about 5 minutes, until syrupy bubbles form. Remove from heat and cool at room temperature.
-
Step 4When cooled, transfer to another container and refrigerate until very cold.
-
Step 5When ready to serve, stir 2 Tbsp. cream into the pudding. For a fancier dessert, whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 1 Tbsp. sugar and layer with pudding in parfait glasses.
