I'm going to be making mine soon, very similar recipe to Janis's. I soak the fruit over night in brandy/sherry. Then once they are done i feed them once a week with some brandy, they are lovely and moist. :thumbsup: Better than shop bought ones :- "

These are a few of mine from last year

I did marzipan/ice and decorate them

 

[trac]

its years since i made a christmas cake,may just have a go this year,i use to make it about 6-8 weeks before christmas,once i had let it cool down i use to put a few holes in the top and each week pour a good 2 tablespoons of brandy over it,

 

[nicky12]
