Made fudge and gingerbread yesterday, today will make some shortbread biscuits for last minute gifts for our neighbors, and more bloomin fudge, as OH took it all to share with his staff. Very flattering to be told its that good, but he forgets that the ingredients cost money.
In fact I beleive he thinks that all of Christmas just appears, as he ends up being very OS with only my prezzies to buy - hey ho, sure I,m not the only 'Christmas Fairy' making it all happen - well more like Mavis Cruet Note to self - STOP SPENDING MONEY !!

I have made a Spiced Orange and Cranberry Bread.
I love a nice Panetonne at Christmas - but this year decided that I would bake my own Festive Bread instead.
It is a 'simple' enriched loaf....ie there is an egg added, and joghurt (which I make myself) ......then I added some mixed spices with the flour....after the first rise/knock-back(or the initial beep on a Bread Maker!) I added dried cranberries which had been soaked in the juice of an orange and also added the chopped zest of the orange (raisins could easily be used in place of cranberries)
Delicious!0 -
Your bread sounds lovely, Prinzessilein! I have made 24 profiteroles ready for Sunday.0
