Summer Pudding

A delicious recipe using plentiful summer fruits, quick & very easy to make.

Ingredients:

750g mixed summer fruits, such as blueberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, blackberries & raspberries
125g caster sugar
8 slices white bread, crusts removed
sprigs fresh mint to decorate

Method
 
Place the fruit (except the raspberries) in a heavy based saucepan with the sugar. Bring to the boil & simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the raspberries & leave to cool.
Strain the fruit & reserve the juice.
Cut 3 circles of bread to fit the base, middle & top of a 750ml pudding basin. Shape the remaining bread to fit the sides.
Soak the bread in the reserved juice & use to line the base of the basin & the sides & spoon in half the fruit. Place a second circle of bread on top & cover with the remaining fruit, placing the final bread circle on top.
Cover with a saucer & place a weight on top. Chill for several hours or overnight in a refrigerator.
Turn out onto a plate & pour over any remaining juice. Decorate with sprigs of mint.
