These variations on summer pudding use - you've guessed it - autumn fruits. Who'd have thought old white bread could make such a brilliant casing for juicy, stewed fruit? These autumn puddings are the lazy cook's memorable pudding.

Serves 6
35 minutes, plus overnight chilling

1.4g fat (0.2g saturated)
6.3g protein

63.1g sugar
0.8g salt

Ingredients

  • 450g blackberries
  • 400g plums, stoned and sliced
  • 2 pears, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 250g golden caster sugar
  • Grated zest and juice of 1 orange
  • 12-14 medium slices white bread, crusts removed
  • 2 tbsp crème de cassis (optional)

Method: How to make autumn puddings

1. Put the blackberries, plums, pears and sugar into a pan with the orange zest and juice. Cover and cook gently for 5 minutes, until the fruit softens slightly and releases its juices. Remove from the heat.

Tip

Mix the cassis, if using, with the leftover fruit juice, and drizzle over each pudding. Delicious with fromage frais.

2. Dampen the inside of 6 x 175ml mini pudding basins. Line with cling film, making sure it overhangs the edges, then smooth any creases. Cut out 6 x 5cm rounds of bread and press into the base of the basins. Line the sides with bread, cutting to fit.

3. Using a slotted spoon, divide the fruit between the bread-lined basins. Cover with the remaining bread and drizzle with some juice from the pan. (Chill the leftover juice.) Wrap the overhanging edges of cling film over the top of each pudding, and weigh each one down with a saucer and can. Chill overnight.

4. To serve, unwrap the cling film and upturn onto a plate.
