    Hello All,

    I still have not heard from Dave but I haven't been able to contact him.

    I'm rather concerned.

    This is based on my grandmother's recipe and was originally made with
    oysters (they came in on trains to Iowa at Christmas time at the turn
    of the century and were only available then. Unfortunately, they
    fairly expensive here in Toronto :)

    Thanks for your follow-up. I hope he isn't helping out his brother with a stuck vehicle.

    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.
