"summer pudding"의 정의 및 의미

What is "summer pudding"?

Summer pudding is a traditional British dessert that is made with a mixture of summer fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and redcurrants, that are placed in a pudding basin lined with slices of white bread. The fruit is cooked down with sugar and water until it forms a thick, sweet sauce, which is then poured into the bread-lined basin. The pudding is then chilled in the refrigerator for several hours until it is set and the bread has absorbed the fruit juices, creating a soft and moist texture. Once chilled, the pudding is turned out onto a plate and served with cream or ice cream. It is known for its beautiful, deep red color and its sweet and fruity flavor.
