My Summer Pudding
From midgelet 16 years agoIngredients
- 1 loaf of a sandwich white bread, crusts removed shopping list
- ( i.e Pepperidge Farm or similar Brand ) shopping list
- 1 pint blueberries shopping list
- 1 pint strawberries, sliced or cut up shopping list
- 1 pint red raspberries shopping list
- 1 pint blackberries or other type berries ( red or black currents etc.) shopping list
- 1 cup sugar or to taste shopping list
- 2 Tbs. fruit flavored liquor , ruby port or brandy shopping list
- heavy cream , sweetened and whipped for a topping/garnish shopping list
- mint leaves as a garnish shopping list
How to make it
- Line a bowl ( 6 to 8 cup capacity ) with plastic wrap .Or Use a plastic
- gelatin type mold, then you don'tneed plastic wrap to line it .
- Remove crusts from bread and piece bread into bowl, pressing pieces together (somewhat like a puzzle ) so no space is left. It's okay to overlap the bread pieces,but press them in
- Meanwhile place fruit in a pan with the sugar and liquor and over medium heat just bring to a boil and then simmer 5 or 10 minutes so fruit release its juice and fruit becomes softened. Remove from heat and cool.
- Place(Ladle ) fruit into the bread lined bowl. .
- Top with more crustless bread. Cover with plastic wrap.
- Weigh down the top with a heavy plate that fits snugly over
- the top of the pudding.
- Chill 24 hours.
- Prior to serving, carefully remove plate/plastic, invert bowl onto a platter and remove plastic.
- Decorate the pudding mold with whipped cream and mint leaves. Slice wedges ( or spoon off pieces )and place on plate, spooning on any extra juices over the pudding.
- Note: other fruit such as cranberries, and chopped ripe peaches may beused.
- Bread such as egg or challah also may be use. One does not want to use a fluffy spongy type of bread but rather a firmer one that will be able to soak up the berry juices and yet hold a shape.
- Note 2: use any combination of berries to make about 8 cups. Some
- cranberries also add a lovely color and I used them in the recipe with excellent results.
