Sounds a great combination of fruit. I use butter instead of suet/veg suet and will try that with this recipe next year

Sounds delicious – will add to my must do list for next year. We’re due a scorcher this Christmas so we’re making gooseberry fool with berries picked from the garden just before! Happy Christmas Madalene and Ross, hope you have a wonderful festive season. JT xx

I love Christmas pudding, especially the leftovers.

I make pretty trifles on boxing day in small glasses using up Christmas pudding. I layer crumbed the pudding into the glasses, add a few drops of brandy, top it with whipped cream and toasted almonds.

This recipe sounds delicious, I like the addition of cranberries. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Love all the recipes!
I am making little gift hampers for family and friends,
I have used your jam, mincemeat and lots of other recipes!
but just a quick query about the brandy butter!
If I made it for gifts how long would it last in sealed jars?
I was going to prepare them Christmas eve?

Dear Emily,
The brandy butter sadly will not keep very long, it must be used within one week. I would also keep it in the fridge once opened.

Merry Christmas

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I thought it’s too late, had good intentions making Christmas pudding just never got round to do it. I will have a crack at this one this weekend.
Merry Christmas to you too Kxx
