The second of my St Patrick’s Day recipes is Apple Barley Pudding, based on a recipe from European Cuisines. I made this twice using pears instead of apples, and a apple version with Red and Golden Delicious apples. The original recipe used tart apples, but the pears and Delicious apples were a lot sweeter, so I was able to leave out the sugar. The recipe also had two options for serving, which I also tried. I love the version in the glasses, it would make a great dinner party dessert. The barley cooked with the fruit had a lovely texture and was deliciously sweet.
