The wife managed to get hold of a bag of currants from a health shop yesterday, though the bag was so large we'll probably be eating them after Brexit has become a distant memory.
I'll bear the brandy thing in mind. We usually put whisky in the Christmas cake on account of there always being whisky in the house. Junior is now the main cake-maker in the house. I'll get her to test this out at a later date rather than risk ruining the main event.
Merry festiveness one and all.
Happy Hallowe'en
I've found the brandy a bit smoother, just a cheap bottle will do. I've tried Rum but didn't like that,cheap whisky is a bit harsh and I'm not using the good stuff.
also use about half to a third water in with the Brandy to reduce the strength. got to soak them at least the night before, the fruit swells up with all the juice and makes the cake sooooooo moist.
we also use a third currants, a third raisins and a third Sultana's in our recipe.
then drizzle the thing in brandy every 2nd or 3rd night throughout November, mouth watering already.
good luck I look forward to your progress report on Monday
ho ho ho
Good stuff.
You can't say "ho ho ho." though. It's still only October FFSsake.
I've seen a house with a Christmas tree up already, keep up..............
Facebookers egging each other on. They've been genuinely counting down since July. Daft feckers.
I got my "Whitworths" Raisins, Sultanas and Currants this morning DK, no problem. not sure why you had trouble, maybe the last throw of the fear by remainers "we're out of Raisins, we're doomed!!!!!!!" but ready to rock the house tomorrow afternoon.
