Ingredients

8 cups blueberries, washed
5 cups strawberries, washed, quartered
2 cups raspberries, washed
1 cup rhubarb, diced into small pieces
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons chia seeds
4 cups orange juice
9 slices whole-wheat bread, dried out and cut into bite-sized cubes (½”)

Directions

In a large, bottom heavy pot, add all ingredients except for the bread.
Mix well, bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes.
Strain the fruit and set the fruit and sauce aside (it should be between 5 and 6 cups).
In a large bowl, add the cubed bread and 1 cup of the sauce.
Mix well and allow the bread to absorb sauce.
Add cooked fruit, mix well and place in an 8×8-inch pan.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
To serve, top each piece with 2 to 3 ounces of sauce.

Chef Notes:
• Frozen berries work well–or a combination of fresh and frozen.
• The more dense the bread the better.
