Why the hell would you buy brandy butter - it's not like it's complicated to make?

6 tablespoons brandy

6 oz (175 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature

6 oz (175 g) soft dark brown sugar or white sugar, depending on preference

Cream butter and sugar together.

Gradually stir beat brandy into the butter and sugar mix.

Place in the refrigerator until needed.

Serve with Christmas pudding, toast, mince pies, or what have you. Melt and serve warm over ice cream.

Thanks for the recipe but no time to make anything this time of year.

The one I picked up is totally organic with all ingredients sourced from the Borough Market...so sentimental in a way and it's been aged and kept moist with large amounts of alcohol for the last 4 months. So I'm hoping it is really good on the 25th.

Whole Foods has Wilkin and Sons Christmas Pudding (includes an earthenware basin) for $30.00

Since I have never eaten one before - I have no idea they are good or not.
