Mincemeat Christmas Pudding Cake
I wanted to create something that as many people as possible could enjoy. First of, the recipe had to come together quickly because practicall everyone is pushed for time towards the end of the year. Easy peasy - just use and all in one mixture like these Tunis cupcakes. Don't like Christmas pudding? No worries, this is a cake disguised as a pudding. For those who prefer something plainer, the base of this is a Madeira cake. For the chocolate lovers there is a thick slathering of white chocolate ganache instead of the traditional brandy icing used on Christmas pudding. For those who like mincemeat there is a generous helping stirred through the mixture and baked right inside. Multiple factors of Christmas baking rolled into one recipe.

Pecan, Pear and Mincemeat Galette
A buttery crumbly shortcrust pastry, enriched with a sprinkling of demerara sugar and a dash of whisky, generously wraps itself around the filling, folding itself to fit like a blanket. A thick layer of drunken Christmas mincemeat resides within, waiting to pounce with its fiery demeanour beneath chunks of soft yielding pear, oozing their own fruity sauce. The sweet, slightly creamy, pecans provide the toasty crunchy that finishes off the volcano like setting that is a rough hewn, homely galette.

Whisky Christmas Mincemeat - Suet Free
I've never liked mincemeat because of the suet before so have always had to eschew Mum's mince pies come Christmas time which made me sad. Then I saw Mary Berry make a suet-free version and I was hooked. That was the one for me and this year it got made. I've got a host of recipes lined up to use it in if I don't eat it neat first though if I can hold off, the three months I've given it to mature will make it all the better.
