All foods are fine within the context of a balanced diet, but this is a good way to get more volume of food for your calories!

Now I have a hankering for some so I'll blow the dust off the bottle that only gets used for making the Xmas cake, and take a trip down memory lane. We went to Cuba for our honeymoon and the hotel in Havana left us a bottle of 15 year old Havana Club in the room.

as for your rum sauce - didn't appreciate that it was so easy to make (I'm not a huge fan of alcohol so have never made it) . Aside from the Christmas pudding, I have to say that my favourite items in the hamper were the beautiful Belgian Marc de Champagne truffles.Place 2½ oz (60 g) of the butter in a saucepan with 2½ oz (60 g) flour, pour in the milk, then, using a balloon whisk, whisk everything vigorously together over a medium heat. Spiced rum usually tastes a bit holiday, because normally it's some combination of cinnamon, allspice, cloves and so forth.

I just love it, but like your children hubby doesn't like it, so when my folks travel down south to my brother for Christmas and we celebrate on our own we tend to forgo the Christmas pudding in favour of something that we both enjoy!Its velvety consistency enhances the festive experience, making it an excellent choice to elevate your Christmas puddings and mince pies. A Christmas rum sauce is thought of as a classic for this pudding, especially if the dessert already has rum added to it.
