Ingredients
- 10 slice white medium sliced bread, crust removed
- 125 grams sugar or more to taste
- 900 grams mixed berries, cherries ( stones removed) fresh or frozen or mixture of both( sometimes I just use one fruit like my favourite, blueberries or I make it for friends with raspberries only )
- 1 banana peeled and sliced
- 4 tbsp redcurrant or other red spreading jelly (like jam) optipnal
- 4 to 6 tablespoons water (optoonal)
Method
- Wether you use fresh or frozen fruit (frozen fruit releases its juice quicker) heat very gently in a pot with the sugar ( do not add water) stirring all the time until all the juices are running out and you have plenty of about two cups relatively syrup like., take of heat and cool.
- line a pudding bowl with the bread overlapping , not leaving any gaps.
- Fill with the Fruit and juice.
- Fold the edges over to cover the top, and/or add extra slice if not covered completly Add a plate on Top and weight down with about 2 kg weight ( I use cans) .
- Stand in fridge until all the bread has turned berry colour, about 8 hours.
- If not all covered you can dissolve some redcurrant jelly with very little water and poor over.
- Do not make to wet .
- To serve run hot water along the outside of bowl carefully, do not get water inside of bowl, cover with a big plate and turn upside down.
- The pudding should come away easy.
- Serve with fresh cream or hot custard and decorate with leftover berries and banana.
