Very Berry Summer Pudding
Traditional English pudding with luscious berries.
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 10-15 thin slices white bread crusts removed
- 1/2 c. frozen apple juice concentrate thawed
- 1 1/2 c. Fresh raspberries
- 1 1/2 c. fresh red currants or other berry
- 2 c. fresh strawberries hulled, quartered if large
- 1/2 c. fresh cranberries
- 1 c. fresh blueberries
- 1 tsp. powdered gelatin
- 2 T. cold water
- 1 c. cold heavy cream optional
Instructions
- The day before you plan to serve the pudding, line a 2 quart mixing bowl with plastic wrap. Line the plastic wrap with thin white bread slices, trimming to fit so that the pieces fit together neatly. Save enough bread to cover the top of the pudding.
- In a saucepan, combine the apple juice concentrate and all the berries. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the strawberries begin to soften, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat immediately.
- Dissolve the gelatin in cold water, stirring constantly, then add the mixture to the berries, stir to combine. Spoon berry mixture into the bread-lined bowl. Cover with remaining bread slices, cover the bowl with more plastic wrap, and slightly weight it down with a plate. Chill overnight.
- When ready to serve, whip the cream with an electric mixer at high speed until it forms soft peaks. Remove the pudding from the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap. Carefully turn the pudding out onto a platter, remove the bowl and the plastic wrap. Serve in slices, topped with whipped cream and fresh berries
