Danish Fruit and Berry Foodways

Specialised

Apples above all — Denmark grows a long list of its own varieties and æblekage, the layered apple compote with buttered crumbs and cream, is a standard dessert; pears, plums and cherries; strawberries as the taste of the Danish summer; raspberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants and gooseberries; elderflower and elderberry; and rødgrød med fløde, the red berry pudding whose name is the country’s standard pronunciation test.
