A XMAS SUMMER PUDDING
This pudding is at its best with a mix of sweet and tart fruits for example strawberries , raspberries , blueberries and if available red or black currents .
If you are using frozen fruits make sure they are well defrosted .
Place 600gm of mixed ripe / thawed fruits in a medium saucepan with 7 tbs ( 100gm ) of castor sugar , stir together and bring to a slow simmer.
Remove from the heat .
The fruits will release a lot of juice .
Now line the base and sides of a 3 and 3/4 cup pudding pan with a light spray of cooking oil and then with thick slices of one or two day old bread ( crusts removed ) , overlapping slightly and trimming if necessary .
You will need to keep aside a slice or two for the "lid".
Fill the mould with all the fruit , you may find you have more juice than you need , (that's okay , you can use it as a topping when serving .)
Now slice the reserved bread to fit the top of the pudding pan , place a plate on top that just fits inside the rim and weigh it down with a couple of tins from the pantry .
Refrigerate for 8 hours .
When ready to serve , invert the pudding pan onto a large plate and pour over any reserved juice .
Serve with cream .
