| Tempo sell at 6YTL can't remember what the odds were. If you do buy a jar, add some chopped nuts, (almonds, walnuts) some chopped cherries and 2tbsp brandy. This takes away the sweet taste and gives a nice flavour and texture to the mince.  |

| To 'Turbo' your mince pies, don't add the Brandy before cooking/warming.
When they're warm, use a kitchen syringe or eye dropper to add 1/2 teaspoon of brandy!
Phwoarrr!
Another Christmas favourite is Christmas pudding Ice Cream. Cook a small Christmas pudding, leave to cool in a fridge overnight. Chop up and mix into a tub of soft scoop Ice Cream, with some extra brandy if you like.
Put back in the freezer as quickly as possible.

| Yorkie, does it have to be decent brandy or will good ol' antique be ok? Also, any alternatives to nuts and cherries as I don't like either? |

| hi susief,if you dont like nuts or cherries,you could try chopped up stoned
dates and apricots, but go easy with the brandy as you dont want to get stoned as well. |
