Good things take time, and this traditional Christmas Pud is no exception. It’s not exceptionally labour intensive to make, but there are quite a lot of ingredients and you do need to allow a day before cooking for all the flavours to merge and develop. Plus, you may want to make it well in advance if you are super organised. We provide vegetarian options and substitues for a gluten-free version of this recipe in the ingredients section.

Fruity, spicy and oh so Christmassy, mulled wine may be more traditional in the Northern Hemisphere where the festive season is much colder and more suited to the warm festive beverage. But we recommend you try a glass or two later on Christmas Eve, once all the presents are wrapped and the kids are tucked up in bed, or at the end of the Christmas day when you finally get to put your feet up. You won’t regret it. There are a few unoaked soft and fruity red wines available in New Zealand including Cleanskins Australian Shiraz and Old Fat Unicorm Pinot Noir from South Australia that won’t break the bank, both are available at vineonline.co.nz where you can search for unoaked varietals.
Gingerbread houses are a delicious Christmas decoration, that’s fun to make with the kids and you get to create your own designs with whatever icing and lolly decorations you like. Just make the dough and bake a day ahead to allow your house to harden (no one wants a collapsing gingerbread house!) then assemble with royal icing and go mad with your decorative skills the next day. Maybe you want to do your rendition of the family bach, or if you feel like creating your own grand design there’s plenty of inspiration online. Have fun building.
