      At Christmas, mince pies are pies filled with fruit - typically currents, raisins and mixed candied citrus peel - as well as nuts. The fruit is lightly spiced and comes in a thick, gloopy syrup. We also have christmas cake, which is a dense fruit cake topped with marzipan and icing.
      As for mulled wine, it's an old tradition that's still big in Germany. Hot, spiced wine. You can also get mulled cider. In Germany they do a non-alcoholic version called "kinderpunch" (children's punch). They used to do a spiced fruit cordial in the winter that you would dilute with hot water as a nice, non-alcoholic winter drink. Havent seen any in the shops this year, but previously you used to get a spiced apple (apple and cinnamon), a blackberry cranberry and sloe and also winter spiced ribena (blackcurrent and mulled wine spice)

      I'm a mince pie addict. I love them. Eat them until my eyes cross. Christmas pudding is a very heavy sweet pudding. There is a high fruit content. Often the fruit is marinaded in brandy before before cooking. Eaten with brandy butter or rum sauce (or both). In olden times. It would have brandy poured over it as it is about to be served then set alight, so the pudding would come into the room covered in a blue flame. As soon as the alcohol is burnt off it is then served.
      We do have savoury pudding as well. We have steak and kidney pudding or just steak pudding which has meat enclosed inside a heavy suet pastry. Really enjoyed this video. Love your channel. 🇬🇧

Personally I don’t like mince pies or pudding, not my thing at all. I prefer what my hubby calls ‘chokey cake’ which is just Bundt cake, he calls it that as it’s dry! Lol. Merry Christmas x

    Christmas pudding is mixed fruits with nuts and cherries, laced with different spirits like brandy, sherry and other liquors. Its a hot dessert that is served with a variety of things, like white sauce or custard. You can have them plain or laced with alcohol I.e brandy sauce. Christmas Markets are expensive and in particular in London.

    There are non alcoholic alternatives available a lot of the time. Sometimes they replace wine with red fruit tea and mix with the same spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. I actually have my Christmas pudding with double cream instead of brandy butter. But the pudding itself usually contains brandy.

    • @andrewcoates6641
      @andrewcoates6641 Год назад +1

      Or rum and like the Brandy butter you can also get Rum butternut personally I just drizzle my Christmas pudding with a spoonful of dark navy rum, if you preheat the alcohol so it becomes volatile you can set it alight to burn most of it off so it can reduce its alcohol whilst still imparting its flavour to the pudding. Almost all Christmas puddings that you can buy from any store do have a hint of alcohol in them but it will be only an infinitesimal amount. The only way to avoid any alcohol in your puddings is to make your own and use cold tea instead as the liquid ingredient in the recipe. Don’t forget that most people will add extra alcohol to their puddings by piercing them with a large needle or skewer and dribbling alcohol over the top, then wrapping the puddings with grease proof paper inside a sealed tin to mature for a long period of time, occasionally repeating the process until the puddings are full to the point of the alcohol dripping out. I have eaten Christmas puddings that have been preserved in this method for at least 3 to 5 years, without any problems. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas celebration .

      The alcohol in Christmas puddings and mince pies is burned off during the cooking. You just get the taste.
      Mulled wine pretty much loses its alcohol content in the heating as well.

      @@TheNatashaDebbieShow nice video, could almost see the drool when you were looking at the food. Looking online (some of the places in Borough market do deliver) the mince pies are £2.50 each or 6 for £12.00. The picture for the fruit cake you showed looks like a Bundt cake which is more of a Germanic type of cake the British fruit cake is a lot darker in colour as it uses muscovado sugar and older recipes would have treacle as well and are heavier on the vine fruit (raisins, sultanas etc.) which are soaked overnight in either alcohol of orange juice. Hope you have an enjoyable festive season.

Pringles are a problem though 'cause I'll take a few, start to walk away and then, like a Boomerang, turn around and go back for a few more 'cause, as we all know, once you pop you just can't stop😁.

    Our family recipe for Christmas Pudding (most people would add cinnamon and nutmeg to this as well):
    Christmas Pudding Recipe
    Ingredients
    5 oz. self-raising flour
    ½ tsp. salt
    ¼ lb suet
    3 ¾ oz. dark Muscavado sugar
    5 oz. raisins
    5 oz. currants
    5 oz. sultanas
    200 g mixed peel
    200 g glacé cherries
    2 oz. blanched flaked almonds (optional)
    2 beaten eggs
    3½ tblsp. brandy
    2 tblsp. lemon juice
    Fat for the pudding basin
    Add flour, salt, suet and sugar to a basin and mix well. Add dried fruit, cherries and almonds (if desired) and mix to coat the fruit with the dry ingredients. Beat the eggs and add to mixture with the other wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly, adding further flour or lemon juice if necessary to correct consistency. Grease the pudding basin, add mix and cover with greaseproof paper and foil. Steam for 6 hours, testing with a skewer (it will be clean when removed from the centre of the pudding if the pudding is fully-cooked). Cool pudding overnight. Next morning, use skewer to prick holes in surface of pudding and sprinkle over further brandy. Re-wrap in greaseproof paper and store in a cool, dry, dark place until required. Re-steam the pudding for 2 hours prior to serving.

    I've made Christmas puddings for over 25 years, usually in August/September to mature. Dried fruit such as sultanas, raisins, currants, chopped peel, grated apple, suet, fresh squeezed orange, plain flour, dark muscavado sugar, mixed spice, nutmeg, eggs, brandy and sherry and a little salt. Mix it all up and cover, leave for at least 12 hours to absorb the liquid. Cook the next day in a pressure cooker for 4 hours. Mine come out almost black, rich, moist and bursting with flavour. So different to the shop bought things. You can include dates, figs, walnuts, apricots, cherries to suit your taste. Without a pressure cooker they take 8 hours on the hob.

    Hello ladies 😊
    I'm not sure if anybody has answered this yet, but mincemeat is a mix of fruit, spices and suet. Suet Is a hard fat that comes from beef lamb or mutton. The mix is then put into little cupcake sized pie crusts. My grandmother used to make a variation of this at Christmas time, she always called them mincemeat cookies lol My family and grandmother included are American, however my grandmother's grandparents were Irish and their children were first generation here. So the fact that her family carried this tradition over from Ireland makes sense lol
    Also I just want to say that I love your videos so much, I am a huge anglophile and it's just nice to hear other Americans talk about their love for Great Britain, and the other parts of the common wealth.

    When I developed a severe nut allergy some years ago I decided to make my own mincemeat for my Christmas mince pies as the brand I liked best contained nuts. I just read the jar label and went from there. It was really very straightforward.
    The basic ingredients are currants, shredded suet, brown sugar, a small sweet eating apple (peeled and finely chopped), grated orange zest, and the spices - ground cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Moisten with a little brandy or rum (or tea or fruit juice if you want it alcohol free) and cook all ingredients together in a pan until the suet and sugar have melted into a thick syrup. Bottle while still hot if you plan to store it, or just allow it to cool before using it to make pies with sweet shortcrust pastry. Now that I’m over my allergy I will also be adding finely chopped blanched almonds. You could also add glacé cherries and mixed peel if you like. The suet makes the mix rich and glossy and the spices should be added very gradually to give you the strength and balance of flavour you want. Keep tasting. Avoid adding too much liquid or it will make the pastry case soggy.
    Merry Christmas!🧑‍🎄🎄

    Sorry Ladies, that graphic of an American fruit cake was really sad.
    I baked my Christmas cake in mid October. The secret, you make some holes with a skewer, but not through the bottom, cover the cake in several layers of grease proof paper and aluminium foil, place in a suitable sized tin, then every 3-4 days, unwrap, and feed those holes with a little brandy (don't overdo, as you'll lose the flavour of the cake), then re-wrap....the cake smells amazing (even if I don't say so myself)....one more feed in a couple of days, and that'll be it, ready to eat on Christmas Day....decadent and delicious!
    Have a go next year Ladies, but you have to start 6-8 weeks before Christmas.

    Here across the border in Cambridge, we specialise in picnic punts along the scenic Backs of the River Cam. In the summer, there are punts selling cold drinks, strawberries and cream, even gelato; punts who work with local restaurants to serve three-course gourmet meals while you are chauffeured along the river. In the Autumn and Winter, as the cold mists swell, you can pick up a hot chocolate and warm blanket as you are regaled with ghost stories from the Cambridge legend that is M.R. James. Punted along the river with nothing but the creak of the punt pole and a lantern on the stern.
    Basically, come over, get the ice cream boat and then diversify- we’ll go for just about any service on a boat 😊

    I'm quite late seeing this episode of the Natasha & Debbie Show, it's early August 2023 for me. I've been making Christmas Cakes (rich fruit cake) and Puddings for a few decades now, I give them as presents to family and friends. My sister's partner doesn't like Christmas Cake or Pudding but he always enjoys eating mine. The Christmas puddings I normally make about 18 months before I give them (occasionally 2 years), and the Christmas Cakes I make about 6 months before Christmas. Before storing the Cakes and Puddings they get a couple of spoonful's (15 ml) of rum and brandy respectively. Stored properly they will keep for a long time and the flavours will mature, I've had puddings which have been 3 years old, and cakes 2 years old successfully (I store them by wrapping them in two layers of greaseproof paper and two layers of aluminium foil, and store in a cool dry place).

    Yes I like Christmas pudding. When I was young, my mum would tip the brandy over it and light it and then walk into the dining room with the pudding all aflame. It was very impressive. She also made her own brandy butter which was amazing. She also used to make her own Christmas cake too. I've also made my own Christmas cake. You have to start them a couple of months before Christmas as you have to 'feed' the cake particularly with alcohol, usually brandy, by making holes in the bottom of the cake and then dribbling brandy all over the bottom so that it soaks into the cake. Then you cover in apricot jam which 'glues' the marzipan under layer onto the cake, before you put the icing on.

    How can you possibly live without custard? Lol...here in the UK we douse everything sweet with it...We have strawberry custard, chocolate custard, good old traditional vanilla custard...eat it hot and pourable or cold and set, like in trifle or piped into doughnuts..having a rough day? Savour it at room temperature straight out of the can! .... Home made is best, closely followed by Birds brand which you buy in powder form and cook up with milk, or Ambrosia custard, sold in tins and cartons. For a really easy dessert, chop up banana, cover in copious warm custard of your choice and smother with crushed up Flake chocolate bars...delicious, loved by kids and adults..😊 x

    The word "Pudding" evolved from the word "Boudin", which was a type of sausage cooked in a casing.
    Suet Puddings were made with a dough or batter enriched with suet (finely chopped hard animal fat) in many cases filled, then wrapped in cloth and boiled. Christmas Pudding is one example of this technique, but there are plenty of other sweet or savory variations (Steak and Kidney Pudding, Spotted Dick, Jam Roly Poly etc).
    Over time, the term evolved further to act as a synonym for desserts in general, while still remaining in use for certain types of sausage (Black Pudding, White Pudding, Hogs Pudding etc) and was also used for several other (non-wrapped) specific desserts (Bread Pudding, Rice Pudding, Bread and Butter Pudding, Queen of Puddings, Sticky Toffee Pudding etc) as well as Yorkshire Puddings, which, though most commonly used for savory dishes, are just UK style Pancake batter cooked differently, and are delicious eaten with Jam.
    For some reason, after moving to the US the term devolved to mean a singular type of dessert, that is somewhere between a Mousse, a Blancmange, and a cold Custard (usually chocolate?).
    Traditional British Christmas desserts are often based around dried fruits, alcohol, sugar, and spices, because there wasn't much available in the way of fresh fruit.
    Christmas Cake is mostly dried fruit with just enough cake batter to hold it together, covered with marzipan and icing.
    Christmas Pudding and Mince Pies are very rich and flavourful and are best served with Custard, Clotted Cream, or Brandy Butter to balance it out (or Vanilla Ice Cream).
    Mincemeat used to contain meat, along with dried fruit, apple, sugar, and spices but the only remnant of that is the suet (chopped animal fat), though in the shop bought ones, even that is typically vegetable suet nowadays.
    During my catering course at Uni, we had one (9am) class, in which we often had to eat unusual dishes, or drink wine, and the mince pies containing meat were a odd, but not unpleasant.

    Mulled wine will give you rosie cheeks on a cold snowy day. There are no alcohol versions. It's cold and snowy here now. To make your own mince pies you can buy a jar of filling. It's called mincemeat but there is no actual meat in it.

      Yeah apple crumbles are easy to make - and you definitely need custard with it IMO. Loads of recipes if Debbie does a search and most are pretty foolproof. I always use Bramley cooking apples - which might not be available in the US. You can get away with the same apples you use for an American apple pie but the texture will be different. Bramleys are much fluffier IMO.
      You can also do other crumbles such as pear and ginger, or plum, etc.

Very heart warming, Christmassy and traditionally British :)👍
