English Summer Pudding

I saw this being made about a month ago on food network. When it appeared in the paper, I had to give it a try.

I used 'aging' fruit ... picking out the prettiest berries for garnish and cooking the rest.  I also used sweet bread from Tony's Bakery ... got it at Christmas Tree Shops.  It wasn't a big loaf, but six very large bulkie roll size breads.

The picture and recipe is from relishmag.com  ... mine didn't last long enough to snap a picture. Came home to discover it's been mostly devoured.  A definite hit.

please note that the prep time you cook and handle it is about 30 minutes.  but it's got to sit overnight or all day to mold ... so the prep time is more like 8 1/2 hours if you count in the waiting.
