Karpaloruispuuro, or Rye Cranberry Pudding, is a traditional Finnish dessert that is typically enjoyed during the winter months. Rye flour is a common ingredient in Finnish cuisine, and it gives this pudding a unique earthy flavor that pairs well with the tartness of the cranberry juice. This dessert is often served cold or at room temperature and topped with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon. It's a perfect way to end a Finnish meal and is sure to transport your taste buds to Scandinavia.

Instructions

1.	In a medium saucepan, heat the cranberry juice, 2 cups of water, sugar, and salt over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
2.	In a small bowl, whisk together the rye flour, corn syrup, cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a paste.
3.	Once the cranberry juice mixture has come to a boil, slowly add the rye flour paste while whisking constantly.
4.	Reduce the heat to low and continue to whisk for 15-20 minutes, until the mixture has thickened to a pudding-like consistency.
5.	Remove from heat and allow to cool before serving.
