Christmas Cake (based on Delia recipe)

Today I started my preparation for Christmas.

Went shopping for ingredients for cakes, mincemeat and stuffing.
I went to the Delia website and printed out her recipe for Christmas cake.  I have tried a few recipes but none have been as good as my friends.  When I asked her she told me it was a Delia recipe.  Therefore I thought that I would give this a try this year.
All I had to do today was to mix the dried fruit with the brandy and leave overnight to soak. Easy.

450g currents
175g sultanas
175g raisins
50g glace cherries, rinsed
3 tablespoons brandy

Mix all these ingredients together and leave overnight.
Soaking day to day.
Baking day tomorrow.
(Sorry about image.  I don’t know how to get it the right way up.)
