It is time!!!!!!!

Not long to go so time to start thinking about getting organised with the Christmas goodies.

A big jar of “Pissed Plums” - prunes marinating in port and several cups of sultanas marinating in some Bundy to make rum balls.

First of my Christmas goodies today after the pissed plums. I used a recipe from online but twice the amount of rum and rolled them in chocolate sprinkles instead of desiccated coconut.

1 kg of mixed fruit soaked in a cup of rum for several days then added 2 cups of prune juice and left it overnight. Stirred through thee cups of self raising flour and a teaspoon each of nutmeg and cinnamon. Into the oven @ 125 degrees for 35 minutes.

This mix made 18 mini Christmas cakes that can also be eaten as puddings with cream, custard or icecream.

Hi Derek
The little cakes/ puddings sounds like a great idea.

Have you tried freezing them Derek?
Or don't you get a chance?

Second batch of rum balls. These are my favourite and have been making them forever. They have a very rich strong rum flavour.

Basically just mix everything together, roll into balls then roll in coconut.

9 Weet-Bix crushed to fine crumb
2 tbsp Cocoa
1/2 cup shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling
1 cup sultanas soaked in rum for several days
3 tbsp extra rum
1 can sweetened condensed milk

Christmas Brandy Balls

First time I have ever made these but the brandy was in the cupboard so why not.

If you appreciate the taste of brandy in Christmas Cake or Christmas Pudding you will love these. I expect the rich brandy/fruit taste will improve even more as they mature further before Christmas.

Same recipe just about as the rum balls earlier but substituted brandy for rum

9 Weet-Bix crushed to fine crumb
2 tbsp Cocoa
1/2 cup shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling
1 cup sultanas soaked in brandy for several days
2 tbsp extra brandy
1 can sweetened condensed milk
