And it's that time of year again. I think I will add in some prunes soaked in calvados this year. Can't do any harm.


There are still some of those in the pantry.

Here we go again! Coconut fat instead of veggie suet (which is basically palm oil)

Does it make a good substitute Jamanda?

coconut fat is ace for several things, tt includes it in her vegan "butter" recipe which is surprisingly good although it is not butter.

will do when she gets back from mumsy duties in london village.

it is rather nice and iirc there are several versions

the one that involves a lactic fermentation of some sort of seeds to give a dubious looking liquor is a bit of a faff but is better than the chuck it all in and blend them ones

as far as i can tell a couple of hours work over a week or so can make a lot of the stuff.

it keeps a few weeks in a fridge and freezes well for the bulk stuff.

Thanks...when it comes, I'll pass it on to the definitely vegan, and lactose free family members

i am not sure it is lactose free as the lactic acid bacteria ferment of the seeds must have a substrate

it is very dairy free and maybe vegan if bugs don't count as critters

Bit late this year with one thing and another, but this is this weekend's job.

i recon sd might find a few over order ones so me making a poor one seems daft, ditto cake

i might think about a brush transfer delivery of home cooked meats in exchange

odd one this year, we postponed one for a day at 9 ladies as nobody could do it in any capacity after the night before
the day after version was ace and better than most on the day ones.
this might be an extended timescale

pud and cake and tings are nice but at the mo things that travel rather than do easy portions and service to table make sense

I am thinking about making our Christmas pudding this year, but have left it a bit late. Must check for the ingredients this weekend but have biscuits and scones to make. Scones are a run through for DILs birthday later in the week. Not sure how I am going to get them to her as son is on leave, but sure we can find a delivery to make in that direction and leave them on the doorstep.
