Christmas cookery

This year I’ve done Christmas fruit mince for the first time in order to make little pies during the festive season. In previous years have made cake or pan dolce. The fruit mince is very alcoholic and smells and tastes great! It now has to sit in the fridge fermenting for a month.

Now the Mister understands why I’ve wanted to keep various jars over the last couple of years – I always said to him that they might come in handy ‘one day’ – and this morning at 6.30 was that day!
