Just for good measure, I have started two more fruit vodkas - blueberry (left) and blackberry :-)
These should be ready to strain and drink just before Christmas. That should give me enough time to find some nice bottles..... LOL

Christmas preparation: Mincemeat, part two
Oops! I forgot that I had shown the first step, but not the finished jar! When it's matured for a while, I will be using it to make Delia's Christmas Mincemeat cake. The recipe from her original Christmas book does not appear to be online, the similarly-titled one on her website requires pre-soaking of fruit and has some different ingredients. For this original version, you literally add mincemeat to the cake-y ingredients (flour etc), mix and bake. If you can get hold of the book, I would recommend it highly just for this recipe - borrow it from a friend if you have to!
