And so I did start with the Christmas Cake
Add half a bottle of whiskey* to 450g of Dried Fruit** cover with cling film and pop it into the hot press for a day or so take it out and stir it every once in a while (twice a day) so that all of the fruit gets a chance to plump up and get a little drunk. Think of it like a tea brack looking at you cross eyed! By the time you get to mixing up this cake the whiskey will have combined with the sugars from the fruit to create an unctuous syrup.
*Jameson Whiskey
