You *buy* Christmas cakes? Shame on you - made ours earlier this week,
and yes, it is divine with cheese :-)

We gave up making christmas cakes as a family when there were so many power cuts, and it's an expensive waste losing a christmas cake half cooked in the oven. Also the shop ones have got better quality and value for money since then.

Might knock out a batch of mince pies though. I still have half a doz jars of mincemeat to use up (20p each I think, from about March).
