My mum’s favourite recipe, and my late brother was also a dab hand at this each Christmas too.
My brother was a ‘tee-totaller’ and when tidying up his garage cupboards one day with his son (my nephew), he brought out a brown paper bag containing a bottle of brandy, which he kept solely for the Christmas Cake. He didn’t want anyone else to know it was there, but had pointed it out to my nephew, in the event of having to clear out the garage ‘when he died’!! Bless him.
