Ingredients

•600g mixed berries - red or black currants, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries - and cherries (preferably morello). Frozen berries (thawed) work well too.
•1.5 litres red fruit juice (cherry, raspberry, or grape)
•80g caster sugar
•finely grated zest of 1 lemon
•35g cornflour
•125 ml red wine

Handy Hint

This is a very easy Summer pudding that I used to enjoy when we lived in Germany. I'm sure it was made with sago then, but I'm not sure how that worked - cornflour makes a smoother end result. It's supposed to be slightly tart, so if you use sweeter cherries than morello, or if you add strawberries, shake in some lemon juice to taste.

Method

Place the fruit, juice, sugar and lemon peel in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring to the boil, lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Whisk the cornflour and red wine together and add to the berries and cherries. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. The consistency should be like a thick sauce. Set aside to cool and serve at room temperature, or cover and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
Serve, or layer, with vanilla custard or cream or pour over ice-cream.
