Christmas baking today

I've been baking today in between blogging and Facebooking! I'm female! What can I tell ya, I multitask!
On the bake list today was a Boiled sultana cake made with mixed fruit, candied peel and glace cherries with Brazil nuts and almonds on top, then glazed with home made plum jam.

Last night I made up some mincemeat and let it soak overnight on some rum, see here for the recipe I used from The Cottage Garden Farmer Blog.

I also made some dough also from the above blog, Click here



I made enough to make up a batch of about 20 mince pies. When I took the photos I had only done a dozen and if any of you can count you will see one is missing, I had to check to make sure they weren't poisonous!

And there was plenty more so I put it into jars for when we need more made.

I also made some muesli bars but used the mixed fruit in these too. Instead of baking in a large try I thought I would see how they would turn out in a muffin tin

They turned out fine


Tomorrow I'll just make some cookies, I couldn't today as I've mislaid the recipe! Also I'll make a trifle for Christmas day dessert.
