Mincemeat Shortcake

Christmas pudding started life in Tudor times and was a thick broth made with mutton, breadcrumbs, dried fruit and spices. It was eaten as a first course. In later times the meat was left out, except the suet, and the mixture was made much thicker. It was then tied in a muslin cloth and cooked in the copper, which was used for washing teh clothers.

Christmas Mincemeat and Apple Pudding

Gelatine is simple to use if directions are followed correctly. I find this method fool-proof:

<ol>
	<li>Put three tablespoons of cold water in a small basin.</li>
	<li>Sprinkle on gelatine (1/2 oz or 1 packet) and give a gentle stir. Leave until it becomes spongey.</li>
	<li>Set basin over a small pan of boiling water and leave untli mixture dissolves and becomes clear again. Leave to cool before adding to dish.</li>
</ol>


Snowball Christmas Pudding

Bon Noel Pudding

An alternate end to your christmas meal, perhaps not as traditional as a pudding but boozy and filling none the less.

This recipe is equally succesful using 1lb raspberries instead of the apricots, and raspberry jam instead of apricot. The brandy is made up to 5floz with orange juice.
