    Serves: 6

    Ingredients

    4 x 150g pack essential Waitrose Dessert Blackberries
    225g strawberries, sliced
    3 tbsp crème de cassis
    25g caster sugar
    1 tbsp chopped fresh mint

    3. Cover with cling film, press down and place a plate with a weight on top. Chill for 3-4 hours, or ideally overnight.

    4. Cut into 6 slices and serve with clotted cream and any leftover juice.

    Cook’s tip

    Make use of the abundance of berries by trying other combinations such as raspberries, blueberries and blackcurrants.

    Drink recommendation

    There’s a new sparkling red in our range that works wonderfully with summer pudding flavours (and also chocolate!). Lively, fruity and a stunning colour, give this a go! Brown Brothers Cienna Rosso 2010 Victoria, Australia.
