About

We all know summer pudding, but autumn berries can be used and even frozen red fruits work really well, so why not enjoy it at any time of the year? This pudding can be made for four of 40 people as you make trayfuls and cut the portions up. It’s a really easy way to make a classic favourite.

Ingredients

750 g frozen fruits of the forest, or fresh seasonal berries (see tips)
175 g sugar

Method

Put the frozen fruit into a saucepan and add the sugar. Cook over a very gentle heat with a lid on until the fruit is warm and the juices have run. Take off the heat and add the soaked gelatine leaves. Stir until these have dissolved.
Line the tin or ramekins with cling film. Cut the crusts off the bread and put a single layer in the bottom, tearing it to fit.<
