Tips: This pudding would be delicious served with vanilla ice cream to counteract the tartness of the blackberries. Stand the pudding on a plate when chilling to catch any juices that run down the sides of the bowl.

1. Put the fruit into a large pan with the sugar, cinnamon, and water, stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes so that the fruits soften but still hold their shape.
   
   
2. Meanwhile, line the bottom and sides of a 3 1/2 cup ovenproof bowl with the bread slices, ensuring that there are no gaps between the pieces of bread.
   
   
3. Spoon the fruit into the center of the bread-lined bowl and cover the fruit with the remaining bread.
   
   
4. Put a saucer on top of the bread pudding and put a heavy weight on the saucer. Chill the pudding in the refrigerator overnight.
   
   
5. Turn the pudding out on to a serving plate and serve immediately.
