'I've broken the bread' creates a Summer Fruit Pudding

7/9/2017

The other Sunday I heard a lot of swearing and banging about in the kitchen.  Whilst hubbie loves eating homemade food he doesn’t love cooking it. ‘The bread is broken’ I heard him shout.
‘How can you break the bread’?
  I ask
‘I couldn’t get it out of the bread tin and now it is in pieces all over the cooling rack’.
‘Did you grease the bread tin before you put in dough in’? I ask
‘Of course I bl**dy did’ is the response.
Not convinced I inspect the ‘broken bread’.
‘OK Summer Fruit Pudding for us this evening’ I tell him.
Having never had it before he looks both relieved and confused.
Luckily at this time of year there's plenty of fruit on special offer, we have an allotment so my freezer is spilling over with frozen raspberries, strawberries, blackberries etc.

I grease a basin with some butter (if you have any of those plastic basins you get your Christmas pudding in these are perfect), place strips of bread around the inside of the basin until all the sides are covered.
​Sweeten some defrosted frozen fruits of the forest (better defrosted as there is more juice) with some sugar. Then place inside the basin and seal it with some more bread.
 ​​  Cover it with cling film and place in the fridge and weigh down with something heavy.

After 5 or 6 hours remove it from the fridge and turn it out on a plate using a knife to loosen it from the sides of the basin. 
Sprinkle some icing sugar on top (optional) or great served with cream
​
Please note: As ours is homemade bread it is quite doughy, shop bought bread is more porous so the juice from the fruits will soak through and make it easier to get out of the basin.
