| 919 | Made the Christmas cake this weekend and got the whole family to have a stir of it (family tradition). Popped in dried blueberries, chopped apricots, sultanas, green and red cherries, orange flavoured cranberries. I used 42below feijoa vodka and peach schnappes(sp) for the flavouring and soaked the fruit for 2 days beforehand. Sprinkled some more of the vodka over the top when it came out of the oven. Can't wait for christmas day now - it has smelt so yum all day whilst cooking. gardie - 2010-10-25 17:17:00 |

| 932 | Christmas Fruit Mince. I got this recipe many, many years ago from the Australian Women's Weekly. I adjust the fruit depending on how I feel, I also pour some type of spirits over the almost fill jars. This years I'm going to include dried blueberries. 1 cup Dried chopped apricots Put all ingredients into food processor and pulse to combine. Pack into jars, cover and store in the fridge. I use Jo Seagar's sweet short pastry recipe Process until mixed. Press into tins and refrigerate 30 mins before cooking. Pop in fruit mince. Lay out remainder between 2 sheets gladwrap and roll till desired thickness and using small star shape, cut out tops for the pies. gardie - 2010-11-02 20:40:00 |

| 944 | Some of you might be interested in this... not strictly christmas cooking, but I'm going to make some and fill them for gifts this year. I made a trial run of gingerbread gift boxes. I figure filled with truffles, chocolates or cookies they would be great to give out! http://tortenz.wordpress.com/2010/11/18/gingerbread-gift-box Also saw the other day a show where a guy made plate sized thin meringues (x2), then layered them filled with cream and berries, topped with more cream and berries. Would a normal meringue recipe work? cakewarehouse - 2010-11-21 22:38:00 |
