Best Fig And Raspberry Summer Pudding Recipes

RASPBERRY SUMMER PUDDING (ENGLISH STYLE)

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, and raspberries. Cook, stirring carefully so as not to damage the berries, until the mixture is hot, and the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Line a 1 quart bowl with 5 slices of bread. Pour the raspberry mixture over the bread, and place the last slice of bread on top. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap. Place a weight on top of the bowl (canned goods work well), and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, remove plastic wrap, and invert onto a plate. Serve chilled, with whipped cream on the side.

FIGGY PUDDING

Steps:

• Gently heat buttermilk and figs in a saucepan over medium-low heat until softened, 10 to 15 minutes; set aside until cool.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a tube pan.
• Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl.
• Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer on high for 1 minute. Add fig-and-buttermilk mixture, bread crumbs, butter, almonds, orange marmalade, orange zest, and orange-vanilla flavoring to the beaten eggs; beat on low speed until blended. Gradually add flour mixture while beating until just incorporated into a batter. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Grease a sheet of aluminum foil; use to cover pan.
• Bake in preheated oven until firm and pulling away from sides of the pan, about 2 hours. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan.

RASPBERRY SUMMER PUDDING

Steps:

• Line a 1-quart charlotte mold with plastic wrap and trim 1 whole bread slice to fit the bottom of it. Arrange the halved slices, overlapping them slightly, around the sides of the mold and press the bread round into the bottom.
• In a saucepan combine 4 cups of the raspberries, the sugar, and the framboise, bring the mixture to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring, and simmer it, stirring, for 3 minutes, or until the raspberries are crushed and the sugar is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and let the raspberry mixture cool.
• Spoon one third of the raspberry mixture into the mold and top it with 1 slice of the remaining bread, trimming the bread if necessary. Spoon the remaining raspberry mixture into the mold and top it with enough of the remaining 3 slices of bread, cut into pieces, to cover the top completely. Cover the mold with a round wax paper cut to fit the inside of the mold, top the wax paper with 1 round of stiff cardboard cut to fit the inside of the mold, and weight the pudding evenly with a 2-pound weight. Chill the pudding overnight.
• Just before serving, remove the weight, the cardboard, and the wax paper, run a thin knife around the edge of the mold to loosen the pudding, and invert a large round serving plate over the mold. Invert the raspberry pudding onto the plate, remove the plastic wrap, and garnish the pudding with the whipped cream and the additional raspberries.

FIG-AND-RASPBERRY SUMMER PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine 1 cup of sugar and the water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Let cool. Stir in the rum. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine 3 tablespoons of sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle the mixture over the brioche. Place on a baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Arrange the brioche slices in a 7 1/2-by-11 1/2-inch shallow baking dish in a single or slightly overlapping layer.
• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the figs and saute until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes. Cut the figs in half lengthwise and place them cut side down over the bread. Scatter the raspberries over the figs. Pour the rum syrup over the fruit. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the fruit is very soft but not mushy, about 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.

RASPBERRY FIG SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine figs, water, honey and vanilla bean in a saucepan.
• Stir over a low heat until honey dissolves. Bring to the boil then simmer until figs are tender and liquid has reduced to a thick syrup, stirring frequently for about 20 minutes.
• Stir in frozen raspberries and continue to simmer until sauce thickens to required consistency, about 5 minutes.

RASPBERRY SUMMER SENSATION DESSERT

• Spread pudding mixture over sorbet in pan.
• Freeze for at least 3 hours or overnight. Wrap securely and label if freezing longer than 24 hours.
