My first Summer Pudding - what do you think it will be like?

[TheGoddessBlossom]

Hi all,

Made it last night - cooked the redcurrants and blackcurrants (which I could only find in Watrose, Gah) with the sugar and then added the raspberries. Cooked for the time specified in the recipe but it went to liquid, with just a few lumps of fruit. Made it anyway, and it's been in the fridge overnight, but won't this just go to gloop when I cut into it?

Opinions please - don't know whether to take it to the party I made it for this evening or not...(thank god I also made 2 foolproof frozen chocolate mousses).

What bread did you use? You are supposed to use stale stuff precisely because it absorbs the gloop. Otherwise, you have soggy bread which is Not Good.

Yes I used 3 day old thick white bread....

it'll still taste nice.

good point.
