Ingredients:
125 grams slices whole meal bread, crusts removed
750 grams fresh berries (blackberries, strawberries, blackcurrants,
cranberries, raspberries etc.)
1-2 teaspoons honey
sprig of mint or fruit slices
Directions:
Line a 1 liter pudding basin with the bread slices, trimming them as
necessary to fit the bottom and sides. Reserve 1-2 sliced for the top.
Put the washed fruit in a saucepan with 250 ml
water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, until
soft but not mushy. Cool a little and add honey to taste.
Reserve 3 tablespoons of the juice from the
cooked fruit. Pour the remainder of the juice and cooked fruit into the pudding
basin. Top with the remaining bread.
Place a saucer over the pudding basin and
place 1lb weight on top. Chill for at least 5 hours before serving.
Turn out the pudding on to a plate. If any
patches of bread have not been color by the fruit, use a pastry brush to coat
with the reserved juice. Decorate with a sprig of mint or a slice of fruit, and
serve.
