Holiday Decadence:

All holiday feasts includes that oh so decadent dessert that makes you loosen a notch on your belt. I can't deny that I have a sweet tooth, and when these temptations are right in front of me, well ... I just have to dive in. I like the whole gamut from mince meat pie to fruit cake. Oh, lets not forget the holiday Christmas Pudding which is so revered in England! There's a lot of lore when it comes to this gooey steamed creation which incorporates nuts and dried fruits into the mix. Most often an alcohol beverage like a stout or brandy is added. A nice touch is to drizzle the top with brandy and light it.
