Bread-and-Fruit Pudding.

Method.—Line a cake-tin, or pie-dish, with stale bread, cut to fit it nicely.

Stew the fruit with the sugar until nicely cooked.

Pour into the mould, and cover with slices of bread.

Cover it with a plate, with a weight on it, and let it stand until the next day.

Turn it out and serve plain, or with custard, whipped cream, or milk thickened with cornflour (see [Cheap Custard]).
