Ingredients

1 loaf of a sandwich white bread, crusts removed

( i.e Pepperidge Farm or similar Brand )

1 pint blueberries

1 pint strawberries, sliced or cut up

1 pint red raspberries

1 pint blackberries or other type berries ( red or black currents etc.)

1 cup sugar or to taste

2 Tbs. fruit flavored liquor , ruby port or brandy

Heavy cream , sweetened and whipped for a topping/garnish

Mint leaves as a garnish

Directions

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.
