-strawberries, currants,
-bilberries or whatever is
-available
-honey or brown sugar to
-taste
3 oz Tasted hazelnuts
3 oz Wholewheat breadcrumbs

A baked dessert like this would have been sunk in the embers of the log
fire with a cauldron or pot upturned over it to form a lid…
Put the fruits in a pan or microwave dish with about 1 inch water in the
bottom and cook gently for 10-15 minutes (4-6 minutes in microwave), or
till the fruits are soft without being totally mushy. Sweeten to taste with
honey or brown sugar (Saxons would have used honey); how much you need will
depend on what fruits you have used. drain the excess juice and save to
serve with the pudding. chop the hazelnuts in a processor or liquidiser
until they are almost as fine as the breadcrumbs, but not quite, then mix
the two together. Spoon the fruit into an ovenproof dish and cover with a
thick layer of hazelnuts and crumbs. Bake in a moderate oven (180C) for 20
to 30 minutes or till the top is slightly cruncy and browned. Serve
with lots of cream or plain yogurt and the warmed fruit juices.

to the ingredients in the mixing bowl and combine
gently. Cool completely before stuffing the bird;

(goose or duck, for example, can make the stuffing
greasy), spoon it into a casserole. Cover casserole
and set into a large pan. Pour got water around the
casserole to come halfway up the sides. Bake for 30 to
45 minutes at 325øF., basting occasionally with the
cooking juices from the bird or with the reserved
