Amazing Christmas Cake

Recipe by: Karen Uffelman

Be the first to review it!

With its two key ingredients - rum and butter - this Christmas cake recipe ought to be a hit. This is less dense and more cake-like than many Christmas cake recipes. It has become a favourite of my friends and family at Christmas, and is delicious by itself, or covered with a layer of marzipan and icing.

Apple and Carrot Christmas Pudding

Recipe by: rosie

This is just like traditional Christmas pudding, but with less fat. The house smells great all day long. It's wonderful served with rum or cranberry sauce.

Apple Cranberry Relish

Recipe by: Karen Dunn

This relish has a great flavour, especially with the addition of celery. It goes well on leftover turkey in a sandwich on Boxing Day. Chopped nuts can be added if desired.

Apricot Christmas Cake

Recipe by: Carol

This twist on a traditional Christmas cake recipe calls for apricot juice, which lends a special 'something' to the cake.

Recipe by: SCOTT LEANING

This Christmas cake is lovely in texture and taste. It just has one difference - no chopped mixed peel.

Recipe by: CHRISTYJ

Delightfully fragrant and spicy cranberry chutney. It's a nice departure from a traditional cranberry sauce.

Black Forest Trifle

Recipe by: stuartd

Be the first to review it!

I adored black forest gateaux in the 70s and loved trifle so decided I would fuse the two. You can make it all from scratch but also easy to substitute ready made goods if you don't have the inclination. The ingredients are split to enable you to decide at each 'layer'.

Boiled Fruit Cake

Recipe by: WIGAN

Reviews(1)

This is an Northern Ireland recipe given to me by my mum many years ago! You don't boil the cake, just the ingredients before you bake it.

Brandied mincemeat purses

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Here are some luxurious little ‘moneybag’ pastries filled with a ginger-spiced mixture of dried fruit, apple and walnuts. The dried fruits are first soaked in brandy, although you can replace the alcohol with fresh orange juice if you prefer. Try these at Christmas-time as a lower-fat alternative to mince pies.

Bread Sauce

Recipe by: Ita

Be the first to review it!

A traditional addition to your Christmas table, this luscious sauce fits any budget. Add more or less cloves and peppercorns to taste.

Butterscotch Bread Pudding

Recipe by: Diana

Reviews(2)

A Scottish twist on a traditional bread pudding recipe. Make in individual ramekins for an impressive dinner party presentation, and try using brioche or pannetone instead of plain bread to make it extra special.

Carrot and Pineapple Cake

Recipe by: chaoskay

Be the first to review it!

This is the nicest cake I've ever cooked. I'll be cooking it for Xmas as my OH hates Xmas cake. Everyone I've ever given it to has said that it's lovely and I often get asked for the recipe. Nicest with proper carrot cake topping made with cream cheese. Variable cooking times, I just keep checking on it and do the skewer test.

Cauliflower & Broccoli Cheese Soup

Recipe by: Kat182C

A nice and easy cheese soup. Ideal for any situation.

Christmas Cake

Recipe by: Carol

Reviews(2)

This cake is a rich, moist fruit cake, perfect at Christmas. Try icing with marzipan for a more festive touch. This recipe is started in October or November so as to let it mellow before the holidays.

Christmas chocolate tiffin

Recipe by: tillie

This is a cake that my gran use to make for Christmas. Sadly she is no longer with us, but we now make it ourselves; even my brother makes this at Christmas. It is not very healthy but it's Christmas anyway.
