Wheat, with Fruit, or Durham Pudding

Take as much wheat as may be required, wash it well, then put it into a jar, and cover with cold water; leave it to soak for twelve hours, add a little salt, then bake it in a very slow oven until perfectly tender and of the consistency of ordinary porridge. This may take from four to six hours. Then put it into saucers, hollow it in the middle, and fill it with any fruit that may be in season. The fruit should be stewed and well sweetened, as no sugar is put in the wheat. Put a spoonful of cream on top and serve.
