Celebrate the Summer Solstice with...
First Berries Pudding


2 cups seasonal berries (strawberries, raspberries, or thawed blackberries from last fall-YUM)
1 cup brown sugar
9 slices bread (no crusts)


Set aside 1/2 cup berries that are the nicest looking. To the rest, add brown sugar and crush. Leave to sit for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, take a nice glass bowl and place the 1/2 cup of "pretty" berries in the bottom. Add a layer of bread. Layer with 1/2 of crushed berry mix. Cover with a layer of bread. Layer the last bit of crushed berries, followed by the last slices of bread. Cover with wax paper.
Place a plate on top of the mixture (smaller than the edge of the bowl), and then a small bowl filled with something heavy on top of that. Leave this for at least 6 hours in your fridge.
To serve, remove the place at wax paper. Hold a large plate onto the bowl and flip it over. With luck you should have a nice dome-shaped pudding, but it will taste good regardless of form. Serve with some vanilla "So Delicious" frozen dessert, and celebrate the solstice.
