Summer Pudding

Summer Pudding is a delightful dessert featuring a medley of fresh berries, including strawberries, blackberries, redcurrants, raspberries, and currants. The fruits are gently cooked with golden caster sugar to create a sweet and slightly tart filling. Slices of day-old white bread are used to line a mold, which is then filled with the fruit mixture and chilled, resulting in a deliciously moist and flavorful pudding.

The Summer Pudding, a delightful baked dessert bursting with strawberries, blackberries, redcurrants, raspberries, and currants, is a perfect match for a sweet dessert wine. The fruit-based and slightly sour nature of the pudding pairs excellently with the luscious Malvasia, known for its rich, honeyed notes. Alternatively, the bold and tannic Petit Verdot can provide a delightful contrast to the pudding's sweetness, creating a harmonious balance on the palate.
