Christmas Stollen


December is a festive month that we look forward to celebrating with dear ones. As soon as Thanksgiving is over we listen to Christmas music on our favorite radio station throughout the day. 


More than a month, Christmas lights are sparkling in the neighborhood and trees standing tall in the malls. Stores shelves are filled with goodies. People are busy shopping and wrapping presents for loved ones. Santas are walking in the malls. It's truly Christmas spirits everywhere. To me Christmas is all about spirit of giving, reading Christmas stories, watching movies with kids, making festive drinks and baking.

Rum Soaked Christmas Fruit Cake


Growing up in India, Christmas Fruit cake was a must treat in our family. We called it "Brodiner Cake". We didn't have oven back then; so my father would to buy this seasonal fruit cake wrapped in a red or green cellophane with a ribbon the day before Christmas from a local bakery. It always tasted heavenly.

Rum soaked dry fruits


Christmas is right around the corner and Rum soaked fruit cake is one of a must treats in Christmas. So it's time to soak dry fruits in rum for at least 2 weeks so they absorb the flavor of rum that makes cake super delicious. I have used six types of dry fruits and soaked them in Bacardi Gold Rum. You can use any dry fruits, candid peels and nuts. Add alcohol of your choice to soak the fruits.
