Directions:Rinse berries. Set aside and refrigerate about 1/2 cup for garnish. Stir in the sugar. Maranate 10 minutes. Add the berries to saucepan and cook without stirring for about 5 minutes, until berries release more of their juices and a few wisps of steam rise. Stir mixture once, cover with lid and remove from the heat.
Let mixture sit for 5 minutes. Uncover and stir in the lemon juice, salt and liqueur, if using. Strain the berries over the mixing bowl and pour the juice into a liquid measuring cup. You will have about 1 cup of juice. Choose a medium-size bowl (about 8 inches wide and 3 inches high). Line it with overlapping pieces of plastic wrap, leaving a generous overhang along the bowl’s edge. Cut the trimmed bread slices into triangles. Quickly dip some of the triangles in the juice and arrange over the bottom and up the sides of the bowl, fitting them together so there are no gaps. Spoon half of the berries onto the bread and cover with a layer of bread triangles (these bread pieces do not have to be dipped in the juice). Top this layer with the remaining berries and a final layer of bread. It will come to about 1 to 11/2 inches below the rim of the bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup of the juice for serving, and pour the remainder over the pudding, making sure to cover all of the bread. Fold the overhanging plastic wrap over the pudding. Weight it by partially filling a gallon-sized self-sealing plastic bag with water. Seal it carefully and lay in on top of the pudding. Chill the pudding and the reserved juice, for at least 6 hours or overnight. |
