\"Last<\/p>\n

I have a confession to make. Before today I have never made a Summer Pudding. Shocking I know.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Probably one of the simplest puddings ever, and more to the point delicious and unashamedly British. And whilst I mastered my scones at a young age, summer pudding just never really made it into my repertoire. SO this summer I was determined to change that. Did I though? Well as you already know I made one today so if you count early September as summer, then yes. If not, well, I got around to it eventually. So we can call this my ‘last of the summer pudding.’ And seeing as the weather is being so obligingly nice it feels like a fitting dessert for the week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Although I did hit a snag \u2013 the one being that you are supposed to make it and leave it overnight. Yes I probably would have known that if I had done this before. But seeing as I didnt well, It just slipped my mind, I decided on a slightly alternative mini version. Because doesn’t everyone love something mini?<\/span><\/p>\n

So without further ado my mini mint and berry last of the summer puddings\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

400g mixed summer fruits \u2013 either fresh or defrosted<\/span><\/p>\n

2oz sugar<\/span><\/p>\n

2 sprigs mint<\/span><\/p>\n

dash of water<\/span><\/p>\n

A bread loaf \u2013 either home made or a very decent loaf from a bakery ( rubbish bread = rubbish pudding)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bread\"<\/p>\n

Method<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Place you fruit, sugar and mint sprigs in a pan. Add a dash of water if the fruit is fresh and heat until it boils. Once boiling turn down the heat and leave to simmer for 2-3mins<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. In the meantime grease your ramekins with oil and line with cling film<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Once the fruit has had it’s 2-3 mins simmer remove from the heat, remove the mint and pour half into a blender and blend into a puree<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Cut 2 circles of bread for each ramekin and then strips to go around the side<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Dip one circle in the puree and place puree side down in the ramekin, do the same with the side pieces and place in the ramekin making sure they overlap<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Next pour in some of the remaining whole fruit<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Then dip your second circle into the puree and place on top of the pudding, press down and leave to cool in the fridge<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Repeat this process until you have all your puddings<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Then eat to your heart’s content<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"SummerPudding\"<\/p>\n

    And that’s it a simple cheats last of the summer pudding. To make it look extra special you can always garnish with a bit of mint and pouring cream. <\/span><\/p>\n

    So if you’re feeling decadent go for it!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
