Frozen Christmas pie: Blend ; pint/1> dl. cranberry sauce with one 8 oz./225 g. can drained penble pieces. Stir into 1 pint/generous x litre vanilla ice cream. Spoon into a prepared biscuit crumb crust. Sprinkle with chopped nuts. Freeze. Desserts Offer a dessert not quite so rich as well as the traditional Christmas pudding. Try flaming mincemeat over ice cream—heat prepared mincemeat with a little orange juice and brown sugar. Warm a little rum, set alight and pour over the hot mincemeat sauce. Ladle over ice cream and garnish with toasted almonds. For an easy freezer dessert, add mincemeat to lightly whipped double cream, and alternate layers of plain biscuits and the mincemeat cream in a foil pudding basin. Freeze until required, lift out of the pan, cover with lightly whipped double cream sweetened with a little castor sugar. Garnish with holly wreaths made of glacé cherries and angelica. For the children, make snowballs by rolling ice cream in coconut. Freeze until required and serve with hot chocolate sauce.

Return to the oven for 10 minutes. —jelly glaze—brush warm fruit cake with melted redcurrant jelly or any other favourite jelly. Decorate with candied fruit and nuts.
