A couple of old Christmas favourites......
Butternut snap and chocolate ripple cake , biscuits smeared with lemon curd and joined with thickly whipped marscapone and cream.... ( alternate the choc ripple and butternut snap biscuit..the butternut snap gives a caramel edge to the cake as it softens ...mmmm )..Decorate with whatever garnish you like.
I use slithers of glace cherries and thinly sliced mint jellies.
Home made egg nog ....an egg flip with the addition of whisky .....mmmm..
Not a fan of fruit cake and haven't made your xmas puds yet, quick run out the door straight to your supermarket and purchase a generic dark fruit cake square.
Cut it in half cross ways, this will give you two layers , lay them out separate and cut each slice into 9 squares.
Wet your hands and roll each square into a ball.
To serve..place a dob of whipped cream on a plate , place a micro bunch of mint leaves to one side and place your pudding ball on the cream, finish with a couple of dobs of mixed berry couli to the plate.....mmm
My gift to you .......nervous that your crackle won`t go crackly....here`s the answer ...
If the crackle has `nt risen and it`s nearly time for service , grab a pan smear it with oil and get it really hot , remove the pork from the oven...sprinle with salt and place the pork rind side down on the pan...it will pop and splatter all over the place ( use a splatter wire , )leave to crackle up for 10 minutes but be careful not to burn ...remove and place back in hot oven rind side up ,till you are ready to slice and serve. mmmmmm
