Equipment

  • 1 1 litre pudding basin lightly buttered

Ingredients

  • 10 slices White Bread - crusts removed
  • 600 g mixed berries - I use a mixture of raspberries, blackberries and redcurrants but don't be too hung up on the ratios
  • ½ cup Sugar - I use golden caster sugar

Instructions

  • Remove any stems or leaves from your fruit and place in a large saucepan.
  • Add the sugar and gently bring up a simmer.
  • Simmer for only 3 or 4 minutes, allowing the sugar to dissolve and the fruit to start breaking down. Remove from the heat.
  • Taking one of your slices of bread (crusts removed), press it firmly into the bottom of your prepared pudding basin.
  • Using the 4 or so slices, line the sides of the basin, overlapping to form a nice tight seal. Make sure there are no visible gaps.
  • Now pour in the fruit, making sure you leave about a centimetre from the top of the basin.
  • Cover the top with the remaining slices of bread.
  • Place a clean saucer over the top of the basin and place some heavy cans on top. This will help the pudding to firm up.
  • Refrigerate overnight, preferably, but at least 4 or 5 hours.
  • To turn out, remove the saucer and cans and replace this with your serving dish.
  • Turn the plate and pudding basin over so that the plate is now at the bottom, and gently lift up the pudding basis so that the pudding is unmoulded.
  • Cut into wedges and serve with cream.

Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
