TAJ Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 DD has taken stuff in to make a summer pudding at school tomorrow. Although some were from the freezer all fruit came from our gardem or allotment - whitecurrants, redcurrants, blackcurrants, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries. I cannot wait until it comes back made and ready to eat! Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Mmmm, I love summer pudding. My problem is usually keeping white bread long enough for it to go a bit stale. Whenever I make white bread, DS and OH help themselves to great slabs of it with butter and jam and there is not enough left for the summer pud My niece made one for a family get-together at the weekend, but she did not have stale bread and used standard white sliced, the bread went all slimy and did not absorb the juice properly, so it was not as nice as it could have been. But she also made a pavlova and that was really yummy so all was well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I have also found that sliced white just doesn't work, you need good homemade bread that is a day or so old. i might have to have another go at this, we have so much soft fruit at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post inspired me to make one for an anniversary meal last night and hubby thought it was fab. Yes it made it home whole and was excellent 10/10 . It was a 'free choice' class to make a pudding - she made a summer pudding, with all home grown fruits - she was the ONLY girl in the class not to do something with chocolate!

TAJ Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Well done her for avoiding the chocolate trap! I think she is the only teenage girl not into chocolate - she made a fuss last year when they did a project in English that had chocolate as the theme! She will now eat chocolate sometimes, but she was 9-10 before she would eat cake and it is only the last couple of years where once or twice in a year she might fancy a bit of chocolate cake. We alway laugh at the fact at the age of 6 she liked chocolate spread on toast at her after school club - when I offered to buy her some for home she said - no mummy you can't buy it in shops it is only available in school So as you can see she didn't much of a taste for it from home All her baby food was home made and I think I have got the reward of her liking 'proper food' ever since.

chickencam Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 All of mine love chocolate but I can take or leave it most of the time except Christmas when we have a tin of Cadbury Roses and tend to eat a lot of those. My children all love proper food too it makes such a difference and they are so much easier to feed than some of their friends. Glad the summer pud was a success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
