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 , cranberries 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

Prep time does not include overnight chilling

This is so simple and delicious.

It's hard to imagine that white bread and sweetened berries can mingle to produce a luscious summer dessert.

The bread soaks up the juices, turns a vivid pink/purple and holds the berries in place.

I make this for a ladies luncheon always receiving many requests for the recipe.

Line a bowl ( 6 to 8 cup capacity ) with plastic wrap .

Or Use a plastic gelatin type mold, then you don't

need 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 be used.

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 colorand I used them in the recipe with excellent results.

What would you suggest instead of the liquor? I am thinking it would be a great recipe for the kids except for that.

Wonderful, midge - what a pretty, summery, tasty dessert! I'm looking forward to trying this soon (fresh berries are beginning to flood the market, getting sweeter and plumper each wee - perfect timing!)...thanks!
