Slimming world Summer Surprise

0

Ingredients

Fruit of the season
Weight Watchers 400g wholemeal bread
Robinsons Apple & Blackcurrant Concentrate (no added Sugar)

Method

Wash any fruit that you have collected and dry except strawberries.

In a saucepan put 1 cup / 250ml of Robinsons Apple & Blackcurrant concentrate (no added Sugar) undiluted, bring to the boil for a minute then add the fruit but not strawberries. Cook for about 3 minutes then tip into a sieve, this will extract more juice from the fruit.

Prepare your dishes by covering the base & sides with clingfilm, this will aid removal later.
Cut and place your wholemeal bread with crusts removed in the base and then cut wedge shaped pieces to go around the side.

Dip each piece in the juice then lay out in the dish starting with the base, make sure that you cover the whole area of the dish.

Add the fruit and the strawberries until it reaches the top then fit a piece of bread on the top, add any extra juice to ensure the top is completely covered in juice. (This will now be proud of the dish)

Place a weight on the dish and place in the fridge for several hours.

To remove open the clingfilm and tip upside down, carefully lift the dish off then remove the clingfilm and dispose of it.

Enjoy!
