Summer Pudding (v)

Well it *is* officially summer so it would be rude not to wouldn't it... And I am feeling extra smug cos all the fruit came from our garden *polishes halo*

This is basically St Delia's recipe :)

For 6-8 portions you need:
225 g redcurrants
110 g blackcurrants
450 g raspberries
150 g vanilla sugar
8 slices white bread, crusts removed and cut into strips. Save 1 slice for the lid.
1/4 cup water

Begin by placing the fruit, sugar and water in a pan and slowly bringing to the boil. Cook for no more than 3 mins or so and take off the heat.

Meanwhile line a pudding basin with cling film and then place the strips of bread, overlapping them, in the basin. Pour in the fruit and juice, reserving about 1/2 cup of the juice for later. Place the bread 'lid' on the top and fold over the clingfilm. Weight down the top and chill in the fridge for a good few hours. Serve with cream and remember the summer.
