Christmas Cake

Before retiring from teaching ,the Autumn 1/2 term holiday was my Christmas Prep week -- Making my Christmas Cake , my pudding & mincemeat -- all from scratch !! So the tradition survives come 1/2 term I still make my cake , and a diabetic style mincemeat -- but I no longer make the pudding but buy a smaller shop bought one for the others !!

Looks wonderful Beryl and plenty of time to 'feed' it before Christmas!

[Beryl Lloyd]

@paulaw Certainly , the feeding is the most important part !!-- my skewer, a spoon and of course that special wee bottle is a must !

[Pat Knowles]

Well done Beryl. Graham usually makes ours - trouble is none of us really eat much fruit cake so half of it is usually still there at easter

Mmmm! I've only got as far as thinking about it, so far!
