1. Wash the fruit and place in a saucepan.
   
2. Add the sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon stick.
   
3. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for five minutes.
   
4. Strain off the fruit (a colander works well) and put the fruit to one side.
   
5. Return to the heat and simmer to reduce the juice by half. Leave to cool.
   
6. Use the slices of bread to line the base and sides of a pudding basin or pie dish, first dipping them into the juice. Overlap the slices a little so there are no gaps.
   
7. Cover the base with a layer of fruit, then a layer of dipped bread. Repeat until the basin or dish is full, ending with a layer of bread.
   
8. Put a piece of greaseproof paper on top, and weigh it down lightly.
   
9. Refrigerate overnight. Turn out and serve with clotted cream and a pool of juice.
