Christmas Cake recipe - its not too late to bake!

Advantages: Quite straight forward.
Disadvantages: Takes up a whole evening.

My house is currently smelling absolutely delicious, as I have been baking a Christmas cake for the past 4.5 hours in the kitchen. It is a recipe that I have used for the past few years, and it really does turn out well. It is taken from Delia, but I have simplified it and omitted some stuff to suit the dietary requirements of my family (removed the almonds for instance, as son allergic). The book I took it from is Delia Smiths Complete Cookery ...
...have adapted over time. This recipe makes an 8 inch round, and about 4 inch deep rich fruit cake. Ingredients: Roll of greaseproof paper. 2lb of mixed dried fruit (I put in any mixed bag, and maybe add some glace cherries) and I soak this in Brandy (half a mug full) for about a week, with a cover over it, and stirring periodically during that time. (alcohol optional, of course). 8oz plain flour; 1/2 teaspoon of salt; 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg; ...

Amazing apple waffle desert

Advantages: delicious
Disadvantages: fatening

The best desert ever!! Today I was asked "whats the best desert you've ever made?". well I got to thinking, and then I got to cooking. An hour, two failed reductions, and some burnt graham cracker crumbs later I finally got it right. I've deemed this the best desert I have ever made here's the recipe, try it out. To make things easier prep these ingredients before you begin. For one ... i guess its a serving lol. 1-waffle 1 an apple 1 graham cracker ...
...1/4 cup of red sangria whipped cream Start off by putting a small sauce pan over a medium heat with the wine and sugar mix in it. While that's coming to a simmer chop the apples into small chunks, and add those to the sauce pan. Now you need to let that simmer down till the apples are soft, the sugar has melded with the wine, and its a little thicker than water. Cook the waffle, I'd recommend a fresh one but an Eggo waffle works fine. While that's ...
