This year, I've decided to share my brandy butter recipe.


Ingredients:
200g butter
100g caster sugar (can substitute with icing sugar if prefer smooth butter)
zest of half an orange
brandy to taste

Method:
Cream butter and sugar until creamy.  Add zest and brandy to taste.  Very simple recipe but amazingly delicious with my pudding!!

 
I thought I would provide my recipe for brandy cream for those of you who would like a little extra something to go with your christmas pudding.


Recipe:
1 container double cream (300ml)
2 eggs separated
caster sugar to taste
brandy to taste


Method:
Beat double cream with caster sugar until thickened.  Beat egg whites with some caster sugar until soft peaks appear.  Fold egg whites into cream.  Add egg yolks and fold into cream mixture until thoroughly mixed.  Then add brandy to taste


Brandy cream keeps in the fridge for about a week.
