How to Make Berry Pudding

  1. Combine 2 cups mixed berries and 1/2 cup sugar with 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
  2. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the berries are soft and the mixture is mostly liquid.
  3. Strain the berry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. Add enough water to bring the total volume of juice to 1 quart.
  4. Let the juice cool completely.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Taste and add more sugar or lemon juice to your liking.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup water and 1 packet (1 tablespoon) of unflavored gelatin. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  7. Remove from heat and carefully whisk the dissolved gelatin into the cooled berry juice.
  8. Pour the berry mixture into individual serving bowls or a larger dish.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the pudding is firm.
  10. In a large bowl, whip the 1 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  11. Gradually add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
  12. Gently fold in 1/4 cup sour cream.
  13. Top each serving of berry pudding with a generous dollop of whipped cream and serve immediately.
