Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, cleaned
- 2 cups raspberries
- 1 cup blueberries or blackberries
- 1 cup sugar
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 cup simple syrup
- 2 cups raspberries
- Pinch of salt
- 10 to 15 slices sourdough bread, crust removed
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- Sea salt
Instructions
- Special Equipment: Cheesecloth; heavy can or weight
- Coarsely chop the strawberries and put them and the other berries in a sauce pan. Add the sugar and salt and cook over high heat until the berries are heated and just giving up there juices. About 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
- In a blender, puree the simple syrup with 2 pints of raspberries until smooth. Set aside.
- Line a 2-quart pudding mold or deep bowl with cheesecloth. Dip both sides of some of the bread slices in the raspberry puree and arrange around the sides and bottom of the mold. Soak the remaining slices in the berry puree and layer with the cooked berries. Repeat and end with a bread layer on top.
- Using a plate that fits just inside the top of the mold, place it on top of the pudding. Put the mold in a pan and weight the plate. Refrigerate the pudding overnight.
- To serve, un-mold the pudding onto a serving platter, remove the cheesecloth and serve with scoop or two of vanilla ice cream. Sprinkle a little salt on top of ice cream for that hand-churned affect of homemade ice cream.

Reviews
Love it….great summer dessert! Hate the new website though!
Made it with bread the first time. Tried it again with Angle Food Cake instead of bread. Either way, It is really a very easy, delicious and healthy dessert.
Four of my French Club members asked for the recipe. It was also an instant success at the Christmas party I went to. This Summer berry Pudding is for all seasons- great taste,color,texture, and is healthy- a definite WINNER
I didn’t use any salt. I used cling wrap instead of cheesecloth. Square molds/pyrex makes it easier to stack bread slices on the sides

This recipe is INCREDIBLE! I was a bit incredulous about whether or not t would hold together but it did and looked beautiful. The taste is out of this world and great for summer. I didn’t have everything on hand and ended up using frozen strawberries and raspberries with only the fresh blueberries. I also used French bread instead of sourdough. I definitely think the sourdough would be easier to work with and will use it next time but none of the above alterations caused a problem with the outcome. This is a company worthy summer classic in my book!!!
Ya’ know what??? I don’t like it as much as I could, because you put so much salt in it and I don’t think that that goes good with the sweet berries!!! I think you should try something else that goes good with berries.
When I saw it made on the show, it looked so appetizing. I decided to make it for a family party. Every single piece ended up in the garbage, and I was embarrassed to have been the one to bring it to the table. I just didn’t think the sourdough meshed well with the fruits. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
This dish sounds great but the flavor and texture do not deliver. Skip it.
This is a recipe that is easy, makes you feel like a gourmet cook and will create WOWS from your family and guests.
I thought this was going to be a mushy mess; however it was light, delicious and EASY to make. I really enjoyed it.
An easy dessert with only a few ingredients. You don’t feel guilty eating it.
