Money Street tip
DON’T wash strawberries until right before eating or using in a recipe.
Wash them gently under running water and quickly pat dry to stop them turning mushy.

Plum and summer fruit pudding
(Serves six)
Preparation time: 20 mins
Cooking time: 10 mins
YOU NEED:
- 500g plums, stoned and quartered
- 200ml cranberry juice
- 100ml port, or additional 100ml cranberry juice
- 50g caster sugar
- 150g fresh blueberries, plus extra to decorate
- 170g fresh raspberries, plus extra to decorate
- 8 slices 3-day-old thick-sliced white bread, crusts removed
METHOD: Use six slices of the bread to line the base and sides of a 1 litre pudding basin.
Place the plums in a pan with the cranberry juice, port and sugar and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for ten minutes until fruit is tender. Stir in blueberries and raspberries.
Spoon the fruit and juice into the bread-lined basin, then top with the final two slices of bread.
Cover loosely with clingfilm then sit a plate on top that’s slightly smaller than the basin. Place a weight (or can of beans) on top of the saucer and allow it to stand overnight in the fridge.
To serve, turn the pudding out onto a plate. Top with fresh blueberries and raspberries.
