3. Pour red wine and blackcurrant juice over it, and bring the sago to a clear boil with sugar, a little whole cinnamon, and lemon peel.
4. Add the dissolved red gelatin, let the flammeri steep, covered, for about 30 minutes, then remove the cinnamon and lemon peel and fill the mixture into a rinsed mold, as with sago pudding with egg.
