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!!  Green Beans
1 can tomatoes (pureed) 1 tsp cumin seeds 1 tsp mustard seeds 1 tsp coriander powder 1/2 tsp garam masala chilli powder to taste 1 tbsp lemon juice Method: Heat oil in pot. Once oil is hot, fry cumin and mustard seeds until they start to pop. Then add pureed tomato and chilli powder. Be careful, it may splatter. Cook for a couple of minutes until heated through. Stir in coriander powder until mixed. Add green beans and add 1/4 cup water. Simmer for 10 minutes. Then add garam masala and lemon juice. Salt to taste. Continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes. Green beans will change colour. 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. Alternatively, get my brandy butter! | Geoff's RecipesHere, I will share some of my recipes.
