Make your chrimbo presents
Make chutney, cake, spiced meat rub, fruit vodkas etc. to give to people at Christmas instead of buying expensive gifts. Its easy to learn how to make such things and people will appreciate them much more than a piece of "funny" tat bought at the last minute.

At this moment
I am taking a break from being elbow deep in fucking English fruitcake. Were you guys horribly constipated? this circa 1700's recipe has 6 fucking POUNDS of dried fruit. This thing is a menace to the plumbing.



My in-laws love it.

Wow.
How do you bake it then? in a washtub?

Come to think of it, I would love to see the recipe...

1700 is pre-decimalisation.
6lb now is much more than 6lb then. Divide all the quantities by 3.25796, then try again.

Funnily enough
Me and the missus decided to make personalised hampers for people this year. Not only is it going to save us a firtune, we're having loads of fun making everything. The only real expense has been buying jears, which we got 24 of for about a tenner.
