Summer pudding made from soft fruits picked in the garden is a special treat. The summer pudding recipe can vary according to the fruit available.

Ingredients:
One punnet Bedfordshire Giant blackberries
One punnetĀ Tullamine raspberries
One punnetĀ Ben Lomond blackcurrants
Three tablespoons of honey
Five slices of good bread

Method:
- All the soft fruits were simmered together, with three tablespoons of honey, until the fruit was cooked and the blackcurrants had burst.
- A pudding basin was lined with good bread
- The basin was filled with the cooked berries
- A layer of bread was placed on the top of the berries, and the remaining juice poured over.
- The pudding has to be pressed down, so a saucer was placed on the top and a heavy weight (jar of mincemeat!) was put on top.
- The basin was then left in a cold place for a couple of hours. It should be 24hrs., but it is difficult to resist!

- To serve, the bowl is inverted over a plate, so that the moulded summer pudding drops out.
