PM Epacris. She is the guru of the whisky/brandy soaked fruit cake.

For the flaming pour some over moments before serving and light her up - you end up with a wam outside with just a tiny tang of caramelised sugar. I don't normally eat Christmas pud but I will if it's been set on fire.

And think about serving it with brandy butter or brandy cream.

You would never guess from the above that I'm a teetotaler would you? lol.

One day I'll get around to sharing my Great Aunt Helen's Christmas pudding with world. It was handed down to her so it's a real olde worlde pud and it's delicious.
