Cherries

Cherry Almond Magic Bars – one of the easiest cookie bar recipe of all time gets a festive flavour twist with glacé cherries and tasty toasted almonds.

Hazelnut Coconut Fruitcake. This delectable fruitcake is what happens at my house when I decide to clean out the baking cupboard after Christmas baking.

Cherry Cheesecake Brownies. An outstanding soft chewy brownie with a cheesecake centre that gets sweet glacé cherries baked into it. Another great freezer friendly cookie bar recipe.

Bourbon Apple Fruitcake. A real old fashioned recipe thats simply mixed together in one bowl and baked. The shredded apples in the batter keep it moist and delicious, while the bourbon enhances the flavour of the cake beautifully.

Black Forest Pie. An easy to make creamy chocolatey and very slightly boozy version of the classic dessert gateau, in pie form! You can make it in an alcohol-free version too.

Fruitcake Loaf Cake. A richly flavoured cream cheese batter is the star of this quick, easy fruitcake in a smaller, more economical loaf size for those who don’t want or need a large fruitcake.

Christmas Plum Pudding. Bringing back a traditional favourite. A real old fashioned British favourite, with no suet and modern day tweaks to make it perfectly.

Old Fashioned Cherry Bars. A decades old recipe that’s easy to prepare and freeze really well too. They look very festive for the Holiday season.

Peach Fruitcake. A decades old family recipe for a dense, flavourful and very moist fruitcake for the Holiday season, with instructions for soaking in brandy too.
