Fruity summer dessert

An English summer pudding recipe is easy and delicious way to dish up one of your daily servings of fruit.
Ingredients:
•2 tbsp water
•5oz of sugar
•1lb washed, mixed summer fruits as available. Soft summer fruits suitable for summer pudding must have a rich, strong, color and flavor. Great choices include raspberries, strawberries, red and blackcurrants, damsons and blackberries.
•4 - 6oz of thin sliced white bread, crusts removed
•Whipped cream or custard sauce


Preparation:
•Stir the water and sugar together and bring to a gentle boil. Add the berries and fruits and stew very gently until softened but still retain their shape.
•Line a 1½ pint pudding basin with the bread slices ensuring there are no gaps. Fill with the stewed fruits and cover the top with more bread slices.
•Place a saucer with a weight on top (a can of tomatoes or beans is ideal) and leave overnight in a cool place.
•The next day, before serving, turn the pudding out onto a plate and serve with the whipped cream or custard sauce.
