Servings 6 x ½ cup (125 g) servings

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Red Currants
  • 4 oz Black Currants
  • 16 oz Raspberries
  • ½ cup Sugar (or Splenda®)
  • 8 slices Bread white, sliced

Instructions
 

  • Lightly butter the bowl or pudding basin you are using. Cut slices of bread about ½ inch (1 cm) thick, and cut off crusts. Line bowl with bread slices, leaving no gaps. Press edges together well.
  • Wash and clean all fruit; discard all stems and any mouldy fruit. Put fruit and sugar in a pot; put heat on medium; bring to a simmer and simmer until juice starts to come out of fruit and sugar has dissolved in it -- should be no more than 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Take about ½ cup of the juice, cover it and set in fridge for later use.
  • Empty the pot with its fruit and juice into the lined pudding bowl. Cover the top of the bowl with bread. Place a plate on top, and a weight on top of that to press the plate down. Put in fridge overnight or at least for several hours.
  • To serve, run a knife carefully along insides of pudding bowl. Invert out onto a plate.
  • Drizzle with the fruit juice that you had held back yesterday, particularly to cover any small white spots.
  • Serve with a thick cream or custard.

Notes

Use a 1 ½ pint (850 ml / 3 ½ cup) bowl.
Don't overcook the fruit; you want it start releasing its juice but still retain its shape.
The quantity of sugar needed will vary based on the tartness or sweetness of the berries you use.
