A delicious way of using up bread, this summer pudding can be made with fresh strawberries, mulberries, apricots or peaches, but when made with cherries it turns a lovely shade of purple. A slightly richer version can be made by frying the bread in butter until crisp, instead of baking it.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz/225 g fresh sour cherries
  • 8 fl oz/250

Method

  • Preheat oven to 400F/Mark 6/200C
  • Put the cherries, sugar and water in a pan and bring to the boil, stirring all the time. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Drain the cherries over another pan to collect the syrup and put it aside. Squeeze
