Christmas Dessert Recipes Introduction

Posted by admin on Nov 19, 2009 under Christmas cake recipes, Christmas candy recipes, Christmas cookies recipes, Christmas dessert recipes, Fruit cake recipes, Uncategorized

One of the best parts of the Christmas holiday is walking into a house that smells like someone has been baking all day. The sweet aroma of spice, apple, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cookie dough wafts around the house like a new type of air freshener.

Christmas desserts are a favorite part of any family Christmas gathering. What makes it even more special is that many Christmas dessert recipes are passed down from generation to generation. Maybe your grandmother had some great Christmas dessert recipes that have been passed down to you that you haven’t tried yet. Why not try them this year?

Typical Christmas desserts are: brownies, cupcakes, muffins, hard candy, chocolate candy, and cookie bars. Cakes involving candy canes, peppermint, or any other type of mint as an ingredient, garnish, or topping are often prepared for Christmas as well. In addition, any cake recipe can be adapted for Christmas with a little bit of creativity. Fudge and puddings also make wonderful Christmas desserts.

But before, after and during Christmas dessert you also need some Christmas candy. That Christmas candy jar on the coffee table should never be empty. Christmas candy is the ice breaker when visitors come to your home. Hard candy, soft candy, citrus peel candies, truffles, brittle, and the like are all interesting treats to nibble on during Christmas. You will find plenty of Christmas candy recipes on our site as well.

The Best Traditional Christmas Fruit Cake Recipe!

Posted by admin on Jun 24, 2010 under Fruit cake recipes

2 The Best Traditional Christmas Fruit Cake Recipe! Ingredients:

340g self-raising flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp mixed spice
2 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground clove
125g ground almonds
125g blanched whole almonds
450g currants
450g raisins
450g sultanas
200g mixed peel
zest and juice of large lemon
340g butter (at room temperature)
280g soft dark brown sugar
8 large eggs
8 tbsp sherry (or brandy)

Butter and double line with brushed greaseproof paper, a 10 inch cake tin.
Sift all the dry ingredients – flour, salt, spices and ground almonds into a large bowl. Then mix in the fruit and whole almonds. Blend thoroughly.

Cream together in a separate bowl (or better yet a blender like we did) the sugar, butter and lemon zest until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, little by little.

Stir this into the flour and fruit mixture adding the lemon juice and booze. The mixture should be soft and moist.

Spoon into the cake tin and level the top (make an indentation in the centre to avoid a ‘domed’ cake).

Bake in the centre of an oven pre-heated to 150deg C for 1 1/2 hours. Reduce the heat to 130 deg C and cover with brown paper to prevent burning, then cook for a further 3-3 1/2 hours.

Wrap tightly in tin foil until 6 weeks before Christmas. Then unwrap and using a skewer, make deep holes over most of the cake. Pour a few tablespoons of sherry or brandy into these holes. Reseal and repeat each week until decorating the cake – which will be in Part 2!
