Pineapple in the berry cone/summer pudding

I saw a beautiful summer pudding (without the bread) cone online and thought it would be super delicious with a little added pineapple ! I was right!!! With mini pavlovas and cream, or simply with yoghurt, it was a hit with the family. Plus alot of fun to make! Anne

16 triangles of fresh pineapple;1 punnet strawberries; 3 punnets raspberries; 1 punnet blackberries; 1 punnet blueberries

                                                                                                                                                Step 1 Line a cone shaped sieve with cellophane and sit it into a bowl.

                                                                                                                                                     Step 2 Beginning with some cut strawberries layer a range of berries into the cone – using a layer of raspberries between the other berries as they help “glue” the cone together.

As you can see I slipped in some triangles of pineapple (just so I could include this fabulous feat in this blog!!) I also used blackberries and blueberries.

Squish the layers down as you go.

                                                                                                                                                     Step 3 Finish the layers with more raspberries and cover them with a square of cellophane.

                                                                                                                                                     Step 4 Sit a small plate, then a heavy weight such as a small saucepan, a large jar of vegemite and a bag of marbles . . . on top and leave in the fridge overnight.

                                                                                                                                                       Step 5 Turn out onto a dish and decorate with more fruit, mint leaves or whatever you prefer.

                                                                                                                                                         Step 6 Enjoy.
