Hi All Love Sue's recipe but if you try this one from the Hairy Bikers, you have a lovely Xmassy drink and get tipsy enough to not care about JCQ, Nick Lait, Exam Boards, Michael Gove, DfE, Ofqual, etc etc. A friend made it last year and it is great! Keep this delicious aperitif in the freezer for a refreshing - and surprising - Christmas drink. Ingredients 300g/10½oz mixed dried fruit (sultanas, currants, raisins) 75g/3oz caster sugar 2 cinnamon sticks 2 tsp ground mixed spice 6 cloves ½ whole nutmeg, finely grated 1 orange, zest only, finely grated 1 unwaxed lemon, zest only, finely grated 750ml/1 pint 5fl oz bottle good quality vodka Preparation method 1.Mix the dried fruit with the sugar, cinnamon sticks, mixed spice, cloves, grated nutmeg and citrus zest in a large bowl. 2.Pour over the vodka, and cover tightly with cling film. 3.Place in the fridge and leave for 3 days, stirring once each day. 4.Line a sieve with a double layer of fine muslin and place over a large, clean jug. 5.Pour the dried fruit and vodka mixture into the sieve and allow to drip through into the jug. 6.Pour into a sterilized bottle. I think I would try to make a fruit cake with the fruit.

It's that time of year again and, I've had requests for my Vodka Christmas Cake recipe so here goes. Please keep in your files as I am beginning to get tired of typing this up every year! 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 cup water, 1 tsp. salt , 1 cup brown sugar, Lemon juice, 4 large eggs, Nuts, 1...bottle Vodka, 2 cups dried fruit. Sample a cup of Vodka to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the Vodka again to be sure it is of the highest quality then Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point, it is best to make sure the Vodka is still OK. Try another cup just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 eegs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the fruit up off the floor, wash it and put it in the bowl a piece at a time trying to count it. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit getas stuck in the beaterers, just pry it loose with a drewscriver Sample the Vodka to test for tonsisticity. Next, sift 2 cups of salt, or something. Check the Vodka. Now shit shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window. Finish the Vodka and wipe the counter with the cat.
