    What do you girls save for purely Christmas? I make a Ginger Log, my kids love it and it is so easy to make.
    You will need
    1 packet Gingernut biscuits
    1 Tub of double cream
    Some Sherryu or some other alcoholic beverage but this goes well with the ginger.
    An elongated dish.

    Pour the sherry into a bowl
    Open biscuits
    Whip up the cream till stiff
    dip buscuits into the sherry too absorb a little
    Now Sandwich the biscuits together with the cream (like buttering bread)
    and keep adding all the biscuits untill you have a log
    Place in fridge over night
    Next day use left over cream and cover the biscuits and decorate as you wish.
    Yummy.
    ENJOY

    I think they are what we call Ginger Snaps here. This sounds delicious. Thanks for the idea

    Eleanor Kliven's Christmas truffles that are to die for. They are so "rich" that I only make them once a year or I'd eat a pound at a sitting.
