Brandy Butter
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Serves 8
Ingredients
6 tablespoons brandy
6 oz (175 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 oz (175 g) soft dark brown sugar
Method
You can either blend the butter and sugar together till pale, soft and creamy in a food processor or else use an electric hand whisk. When you have a pale smooth mixture you can gradually add the brandy, a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Taste and add more brandy if you think it needs it!
Then place the butter in a container and chill thoroughly before serving. It is important, I think, to serve this very cold so that it can provide a wonderful contrast to the hot mince pies or pudding. It will keep for 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator so it's not really worth freezing.
