  • Summer Pudding
    Summer Pudding Amazing how many British puddings have bread as an ingredient. Queen of pudding, Charlotte’s, diplomat pudding, bread and butter pud, summer pudding. When it comes to being thrifty – Britain wins. France cooks with her heart, Italy with soul, Spain with passion, Germany with its belly and Britain with its wallet. I’ve swapped the usual over-processed poppy pre-sliced white bread with brioche in my summer pudding recipe which works really well. With the abundance of local summer berries just about ready for picking, I’m looking forward to my first taste of this gorgeous pud with a greedy dollop of clotted cream. Summer pudding was originally called hydropathic pudding – it was fed to invalids in spas and nursing homes as a healthy healing pick me up. Summer pudding – serves 6 1kg soft red fruit eg black and redcurrants, blackberries, raspberries and bilberries 100 to 150g castor sugar or fructose 1 strip lemon rind (optional) 8 to 10 thin slices of 2 days old brioche Pick over and clean the fruit, put into a bowl with sugar to taste and the lemon rind, if used, and leave overnight. Turn the fruit and sugar into a pan, discarding the lemon rind and simmer for 2 – 3 minutes until very lightly cooked. Remove from the heat. Cut the crusts off the brioche. Cut a circle from one slice to fit the bottom of a 1.25 litre pudding basin. Line the base and sides of the basin with brioche, leaving no spaces. Fill in any gaps with small piece of brioche.

  • Currant Report 2001
    Currantly Speaking, Ribes Gets a Bum Rap By Bob Peterson & Jacqueline King, WSU – Mount Vernon Description & History The genus Ribes is the taxonomic home to the American Gooseberry (R. hirtellum), the European Gooseberry (R. grossularia), the European red, pink, and white currant species (R. rubrum, R. petraeum, and R. sativum), and the black currant species from Europe and Asia (R. nigrum and R. ussuriense). A new addition to the Ribes taxonomy grouping is 'Jostaberry' (R. nigrum x hirtellum) a hybridization of black currant and gooseberry. The Ribes genus is native to the Northern Hemisphere with the bulk of commercial production centered in Northern Europe. Ribes species are well adapted to USDA Hardiness Zones 3 to 5, and to cooler, more temperate climate areas with sufficient winter chilling such as we have in the Pacific Northwest. Somewhat susceptible to intense sun and heat, they are more adapted to partial shade and northern exposure sites. Cultivated in Europe since the early 1500's and brought over to North America by colonists in the late 1700's, currants are prized for their culinary versatility, be it fresh dried, juiced, fermented, cooked or preserved. The first red currant recipes came to America with immigrants from Scotland, England, Wales and France and included classics like Cumberland sauce, summer pudding, and the famous French preserve, Bar le Duc jelly, from the town of the same name in Lorraine. Commercial Production For growersinterested in currants as an alternative crop, the juice market is probably the most promising. The cool maritime climate of western Washington is well suited to production of high quality fruit.

  • Summer Pudding Summer Pudding Is a Great English Classic
    Summer Pudding Summer Pudding is a great English classic. It’s not hard to make; basically all you need is a mixture of summer berries and some slices of stale white bread. However: • !e berries should be principally raspberries and currants. Don’t use too many blackcurrants as they can easily overpower any other flavours, also be sparing with strawberries. • If you can’t get all the berries fresh, you can use frozen summer fruits and add more raspberries • Do not use supermarket sliced bread; get a loaf of good farmhouse bread—unless of course you make your own—slice it and leave it to dry out a bit, or give it a few minutes in a warm oven. You will need a 1 litre pudding basin or mixing bowl. Ingredients 750-800g mixed summer fruit (raspberries, redcurrants, white currants, cherries, blackberries, blackcurrants, strawberries) 150 g caster sugar approx. 8 slices good quality white bread (medium loaf), slightly stale, crusts removed Method Remove the stalks and stones from the fruit and halve the cherries and strawberries if using. Mix the fruit and sugar gently together and, if time permits, leave it to macerate for an hour or so (or overnight). Otherwise, put the fruit and sugar straight into a pan and heat very gently to melt the sugar and start the juices flowing. Bring it up to a simmer and cook for no more than 2–3 mins. Line your bowl with the bread, cutting the slices to fit jigsaw-fashion, filling cracks and pressing the edges of the slices together to leave no gaps.

  • Very Berry Summer Pudding with Vanilla Custard
    Very berry summer pudding with vanilla custard Some cancer researchers recommend that we eat berries daily; this delicious dessert – inspired by the Danish summer dessert, rødgrød med fløde (literally: “red grits with cream”) – will help you achieve this goal (smoothies are another great way of getting there). Several berries – notably black and red raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and elderberries – contain an array of healthy compounds that have been found in laboratory studies to have anti-cancer effects. They are also thought to support cardiovascular and metabolic health by helping lower LDL cholesterol, blood pressure, weight, glucose levels and inflammation markers. While it’s usually best to eat fruits and vegetables during their local growing season, I’m happy to make an exception here: the berry season being woefully short and fresh berries expensive (and prone to going moldy in the fridge…), it’s fine to make this with frozen berries and enjoy it all year round. Serves 6. 1.1lb/500g mixed berries (raspberries, 1 tsp natural vanilla extract strawberries, red- and black currants, finely chopped mint leaves for garnish blackberries, cranberries, gooseberries etc.) and pitted cherries – fresh or frozen Vanilla custard 1 cup unsweetened tart cherry juice 1 heaped tbsp corn starch 3 tbsp corn starch 1 tbsp fine sugar 3 tbsp chia seeds 4 egg yolks 2-inch strip untreated (organic) lemon peel 2 cups whole milk (any plant or animal milk 1 cinnamon stick works here) 3 tbsp maple syrup (more or less, to taste) 1 tbsp vanilla extract Pour cherry juice into a medium-sized pot, add lemon peel, cinnamon stick, tapioca or corn starch (whichever using) and mix with a balloon whisk.
