- .RZ "KATE ASHCROFT'S SUMMER PUDDING" "Uncooked fruit and bread pudding"
- Here is my friend Kate Ashcroft's Yorkshire version of the dessert
- known as ``summer pudding''.

- .IG "6 cups" "bramble fruit" "1.5 l"
- (see note)
- .IG "1 lb" "whole wheat bread" "500 g"
- .IG "" "raw sugar"

- .PH
- .SK 1
- In a
- .AB "two-quart" "two-liter"
- pudding mold, crush but don't sieve the fruit.
- Sweeten to taste with raw sugar (not brown sugar).
- .SK 2
- Tear into
- small pieces enough homemade whole-wheat bread, crust and all, to pack
- the mold till it's full.
- .SK 3
- Refrigerate the pudding for
- something between 6 and 24 hours.
- .SK 4

- it, just spoon it out and serve it with heavy unsweetened cream.
- .NX
- For ``bramble fruit'' use some berry that grows on a brambly vine.
- Raspberries, blackberries, presumably huckleberries
- and ollalie berries. Some currants are OK, some gooseberries are OK,
- even some blueberries are OK, but no strawberries, they don't fit the
- mood.
- .PP
- Day-old bread is better than dead fresh for
- this recipe, but not older than a day.
- .PP
- For contrast, here is the standard version: In a two-quart pudding
- mold, truck out one pint of Woolworth's raspberry jam with enough
- Golden Syrup to make a quart and a half of goo. Tear into small pieces
- enough stale crumb, not crust, of bakery white bread to pack the mold
- till it's full. Refrigerate the pudding for six weeks. Serve with
- Bird's Custard Sauce.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 10 minutes preparation, 6 hours cooling.
- .I Precision:
- no need to measure.
