Another dessert berry bonanza packed with antioxidants and fibre, yes there is a little bread but it's still fat free and will help re-fuel your body with lots of vitamins and minerals after that run.
Ingredients
1kg mixed berries, fresh or frozen
200g fresh strawberries
2/3 pint water
180g caster sugar
10 thin slices of white bread
Method
Place the berries, sugar and water into a pan and slowly bring up to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes. Check for taste here, and add more sugar if needed.
Slice the fresh strawberries into chunks and add these to the other berries once you have taken them off the heat.
Drain the fruits in a sieve over a large bowl to collect the juice
Remove the crusts from the bread and dip into the juice one slice at a time, lining a large basin as you go. Keep enough slices dipped in juice to form a lid.
Once all the sides are lined, tip in the fruit and pour in any remaining juice
Place the remaining slices over to form a lid
Place a plate over the top, and put a few tins or weights on top of this
Put the whole thing on another plate to catch any drips and chill in the fridge for several hours, or overnight
To serve, turn the pudding out onto a plate, easing the side up with a knife if it is stuck.
