SUMMER PUDDING

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, stir together nectarines, sugar and 1/3 cup water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Fold in raspberries and blackberries and cook until juices are thickened, at least three minutes. Taste and add more sugar if necessary. Pour into a large bowl and let cool.
• Line an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap. When fruit is cool, cover base of pan with layer of brioche, cutting it to fit. Spoon 1/3 of the fruit on top. Cover with layer of brioche. Repeat, ending with fruit. Lay a piece of plastic wrap on top, then another loaf pan containing 2 to 3 pounds of weights (soup cans work well). Chill overnight.
• When ready to serve, whisk together the crème fraîche, mascarpone and honey. Spoon into a serving bowl to be passed at the table. Remove weights, pan and top layer of plastic wrap from pudding. Unmold onto a serving plate with a lip so juices do not spill. Slice and serve.
