On the tenth day of Christmas Baking – Blini Pancakes

On the Eighth Day of Christmas Baking – Christmas Pudding Bon-Bons

On the Second Day of Christmas Baking – Marvellous Mince Meat
If it was terrible I could just throw it out right? Well it was a complete success and I have made it for the last 4 years and have always received great compliments on it. As part of some gifts last year I made hampers for friends and popped in a jar of Mincemeat and it went down a treat. Continue reading
