Traditional summer pudding

Yield: 8 servings

Measure Ingredient
1½ cup Frozen unsweetened raspberries
1½ cup Frozen unsweetened blackberries
1½ cup Frozen unsweetened strawberries
1½ cup Frozen unsweetened blueberries
½ cup Sugar
¼ cup Water
1 pack Unflavored gelatin
8 slices Hearty white bread; crusts removed
1 cup Lowfat vanilla yogurt cheese; (strained yogurt)
8 \N Sprigs fresh mint

GARNISH

Gently heat the berries and sugar until the berries are thawed and the sugar is dissolved. Remove them from the heat to ensure the berries do not cook.

Pour the water into a small saucepan, sprinkle with the gelatin, and let sit for 1 minute. Cook on low heat until the gelatin is completely dissolved and then stir into the berries.

Cut a circle from one of the slices of bread to fit into the bottom of a 6-cup bowl. Fit 6 bread slices around the sides of the bowl, overlapping them ¼ inch. If the bottom of the bowl is smaller than the top, cut the bottom of the slices a little narrower than the top so the bread will fit in smoothly.

Pour in the berries and cover the top with the remaining bread. Cover the top of the pudding with a saucer just smaller than the top of the bowl and weight it down with a heavy can. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or longer for better flavor saturation. You can even make this delicious dessert the day before you want to serve it and let it set overnight.

Just before serving, run a rubber spatula around the edge of the pudding all the way down into the bowl. Cover the top with a plate and turn it over gently, easing the pudding out of the bowl onto the plate.

To serve: Cut the pudding into 8 wedges and garnish with a dollop of the strained vanilla yogurt and a sprig of the fresh mint.
