SD> Title: Christmas Casserole MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Berry Bread Pudding Categories: Puddings Yield: 6 Servings 400 g Frozen mixed berries 8 sl Cheap white bread Baking spread or - vegan spread; - for greasing Pop the berries in a medium-sized saucepan and bring to a medium heat--do not boil them as you will spoil the flavour. Cook the berries--with or without sugar, see Tip--for around 15 minutes, until they are well softened and juicy. Remove from the heat and spoon out 2 to 3 tb to serve on top of the pudding. Set aside. Cut the bread into quarters, and then each quarter into quarters again, so each slice is in 16 pieces. Drop them into the saucepan--no point in dirtying a mixing bowl for this job--and mix well to absorb all of the juices from the berries. The bread should swell and all turn a lurid purpley pink colour. Leave the bread soaking for 15 minutes, stirring it occasionally to break it up and allow it to absorb evenly. Preheat your oven to 180?C (fan 160oC/350?F/gas 4). Lightly grease a cake tin--a 20 cm one will do, round or square--and spoon in the mixture. Press it down with your fingers to compact it tightly into the tin, and carefully tip off any excess juices that come to the surface--this is a very moist pudding, but it needs to be able to cook and set! Pop it into the oven for 40 minutes, until slightly risen and caramelized on top, and firmish to touch. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 10 to 15 minutes before serving topped with the reserved juices. Tip: I served this with a rosewater custard--a carton of fresh custard mixed with some rose petals I had at home (Oatly do a great vegan "custard"). But corner shop tinned custard and a splash of rosewater does the job just nicely.
