SUMMER BLUEBERRY PUDDING

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 8h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups fresh blueberries, preferably wild
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
12 slices homemade-style white bread, about 3/4 pound, crusts removed
Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • Pick over the blueberries and remove the stems. Rinse well, place in a heavy large saucepan, and stir in 1/4 cup water and the sugar. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, until the berries are slightly softened and the juices are released, about 10 minutes. Stir gently from time to time. Remove from the heat, cool slightly, and stir in the lemon juice.
  • Spread the butter on the bread slices and sprinkle with the cinnamon. Line the bottom of an 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 by 2 1/2-inch loaf pan with some of the bread slices, trimming to form a tight fit. Spread 1/3 of the berries and juice evenly over the bread. Repeat to make 3 layers in all.
  • Refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours. Spoon onto plates and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips

  • Use fresh, ripe blueberries. This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your pudding.
  • Don't overcook the blueberries. They should be cooked until they are just soft and have released their juices, but not so much that they become mushy.
  • Use a good quality white bread. This will help the pudding to hold its shape and not become too soggy.
  • Be careful not to overfill the pudding mold. It should be filled to about two-thirds full, to allow for expansion during cooking.
  • Let the pudding cool completely before serving. This will help it to set and hold its shape.

Conclusion

Blueberry summer pudding is a classic British dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts. The combination of sweet blueberries, tangy lemon, and rich cream is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy dessert, be sure to give blueberry summer pudding a try.
