Instructions
1Bring out the juices: Wash fruit and gently dry on kitchen paper – keep strawberries separate. Put sugar and 3 tbsp water into a large pan. Gently heat until sugar dissolves – stir a few times. Bring to a boil for 1 min, then tip in the fruit (not strawberries). Cook for 3 mins over a low heat, stirring 2-3 times. The fruit will be softened, mostly intact and surrounded by dark red juice. Put a sieve over a bowl and tip in the fruit and juice.

Chef tips
For a perfect pudding without any white spots, use high-quality day-old white bread and make sure every slice is thoroughly soaked in the red fruit juice before arranging it in the bowl. If fresh berries aren't available, thawed frozen fruit works great. Serve with a dollop of non-dairy whipped cream or chilled coconut cream for a rich, festive parve treat.
