  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pt            Strawberries -- halved
   1                    Lemon
   1      pt            Raspberries
   1      pt            Blueberries
     2/3  c             Sugar
     1/8  ts            Nutmeg
   9      sl            Firm white bread

Pare yellow zest from lemon, leaving white pith behind.

In frying pan, combine berries, sugar, nutmeg, lemon zest, and
1/3 cup water. Cook over medium heat until fruit is soft but still
intact, 8 to 10 minutes. Take from heat, let cool and remove lemon
zest. Drain fruit, reserving juice. Line 5 cup bowl with plastic
wrap. Trim crusts from bread. Dip one side of each bread slice in
juice and line bottom and sides of prepared bowl, moistened side
toward bowl. Cut bread as needed to fit. Pour in fruit. Top with
remaining bread, trimming to fit. Brush remaining juice over bread.
Cover with plastic wrap and put a plate on top that fits into bowl.
Add a weight, such as a 28 oz can and refrigerate overnight. Turn
pudding out onto a plate, cut in wedges, and serve with whipped cream
if desired.
