Berry Pudding
- 10 to 15 thin slices white bread, crusts removed
- 1/2 cup thawed frozen apple juice concentrate
- 1 1/2 cups raspberries
- 1 1/2 cups red currants
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled
- 1/2 cup cranberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup heavy cream, optional
- The day before you plan to serve the pudding, line a mixing bowl with plastic wrap.
- Line the plastic wrap with the bread slices, trimming the pieces so that they fit together neatly.
- Save enough bread to cover the top of the pudding.
- In a saucepan, combine the apple juice concentrate and all the berries.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the strawberries begin to soften, about 1 minute.
- Immediately turn off the heat.
- Stirring, dissolve the gelatin in the water, then add the mixture to the berries and stir to combine.
- Spoon the mixture into the bread-lined bowl.
- Cover with remaining bread slices.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
- When ready to serve, whip the cream until soft peaks form.
- Remove the pudding from the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap on top of the bowl.
- Carefully turn the pudding out onto a platter and serve in spoonfuls with whipped cream on top.
