Summer Pudding Recipe
This recipe seems a bit daunting, but once you’ve got the hang of dipping the bread and lining the basin, it’s pretty straightforward. Make up the weight of fruit with any mixture of berries you like; raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, currants, cherries, blackberries and tayberries are all brilliant. You will need a 1.8 litre/3-pint pudding basin; for best results, begin the recipe the night before you plan to eat it. Serves 4-6.

Feel free to experiment with different soft cheeses, berries, leaves or nuts – it’s pretty hard to go wrong!
Serves 2-3 as a main meal, 4-6 as part of a selection of salads.
