Make a wish....

[British Red]

...and I'll give an extra stir for you - there's many a pudding in here so there are a few wishes going begging

There is mead from our bees, raspberry whisky and home made stout in there - so no naked flames please!

That's a very nice invitation - I've made a wish, but I guess I'm not allowed to say what it is?

If you do it won't come true

It'll be steamed for 8 hours tomorrow so it'll be "baked in" by then

I've made mine! Looks set to be tasty!

I wish I could visit and help eat it, but I already know that one isn't going to come true.

I wish you hadn't messed it up by adding the booze! I love Christmas pud

 

[bigbear]

Yes, nothing like it. I do a big batch every two or three years and they do get better with age......

After being steamed for a full day, there is no alcohol left Graham - just the flavours

I'd love to sell a few - but sadly there are too many silly laws (and cheap stuff in shops) to make that worthwhile. So call in for a slab for free if passing!

When I first read your post I thought it said, I'll be steamed for 8 hours. LOL. Was going to ask are you on the Christmas grog already.

I don't need to drink it - there's a third of a bottle of the hard stuff on this dried fruit

...breathing in in the kitchen where that and the pudding mix is marinading is quite heady enough

It looks and sounds delicious Hugh.

My wife got all her ingredients for the Christmas cake yesterday so the fruits will be marinading next Friday night and baking Saturday

[British Red]

One of these days we will do a big meal for you all - and make you sit there till you've eaten it!

 

[andybysea]
