I have just started my Christmas cake. During October half term I always put the fruit in a air tight container and add a good helping of metaxa brandy to it and leave it for about 6 weeks to get plump and intoxicating!
This year I have used mixed fruit, cherries, mixed peel and dried apricots.
I will put the recipe on here nearer to Christmas.
Anyone else started their Christmas cake yet?
My husband started ours yesterday by soaking the fruit in brandy!!
