Crazygirl .... the best Christmas cakes and puddings have to age for at least a month. My Mam would make all her Christmas cakes in November.
I'll never forget coming home from school to her sweetly trilling .......

Lol, and what was the "magic ingredient" in those puddings, rum or brandy? My ancestors came over to America from the British Isles in the 1700's. I am so sorry that we have lost all those traditions over time.

My grandmother and I would make the fruitcake at this time. Then they were wrapped cheesecloth, doused in brandy, and set away to age.
But you're English, aren't you? What we call pudding doesn't age, but I think you call pudding what we (USA) call fruitcake, true?
