This is one of my typical Christmas favourites. It's a great alternative to hot pudding in our Aussie heat. Frozen berries work just as well but I always use fresh strawberries. Any combination of berries is fine

2 punnets Strawberries
2 punnets Raspberries
2 punnets Blueberries

Method :
Wash & trim berries and put into a saucepan with the water & sugar.
Simmer for about 5 minutes until softening and juices become a little syrupy. Remove from heat.
Line a pudding basin with cling wrap, leaving enough overhanging to cover the top. Use a pastry brush to "paint" one side of the bread with juice from the berries and place the bread juice side down to line the basin.

Pour fruit and 1/2 the juice into the lined basin. Reserve the other half of the juice for serving.
Use more bread to make a 'lid' for the pudding going all the way to the edge.

Cover the top with overhanging cling wrap.
Place a small plate on top and weight it down (you could use large tins of fruit/soup).
Refrigerate both the pudding and the reserved juice overnight.
To serve, open the clingwrap and upend pudding onto a plate.
