- Ingredients
- 10 cups Berry (raspberries, blackberries, blackcurrants, strawberries)
- 6 Tbsps caster sugar
- 2 Tbsps lemon juice
- 2 Tbsps Red wine (or water)
- 8 slices day-old, white Bread (crusts removed)
- To decorate
- Blackberry
- mint
Preparation steps
1.
Put the berries in a pan with the sugar, lemon juice, wine or water. Heat for 5 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the fruits start to release their juices. Set aside to cool.
2.
Cut a round of bread to fit the base of an 850ml|1 1/2 pint pudding basin. Cut another round to fit the top and set aside. Slice the remaining bread and line the sides of the basin.
3.
Press some of the fruit through a plastic sieve into a non-metallic bowl, leaving some fruit whole.
4.
Spoon in the fruits, pressing down with the back of a spoon to firm. Dip the remaining bread round into the juice and press down on top. Place the basin in a shallow bowl to catch any overlfowing juces.
5.
Place a plate and a weight on top of the basins and chill overnight.
6.
Loosen the sides of the pudding with a knife and turn out onto a serving plate. Decorate with blackberries and mint leaves.
