When I was a child a family friend made a Brazil Nut cake, I loved it. But she got dementia and could not remember where the recipe was when I asked about it. Her family had tossed her old recipes.
25 years ago I found a recipe for an apricot and coconut fruit cake. It was so good, but I love the recipe and although I have checked the magazine's website, the recipe has never reappeared.
I do not make it anymore, I limit my Christmas baking to a few staples that everyone enjoys.
My son and I worked on the list last night:
Nanaimo Bars
Brown Sugar Fudge
Almond Rocha
Butter Tarts
Mince Tarts
I buy shortbread from a local bakery. I do not need a whole batch of it and I am the only one who enjoys it.
