Christmas in July

we'll be celebrating Christmas in July with a friend down the road. She's Finnish and bakes a mean Finnish Christmas vegetarian dish. I'm providing my Christmas Cake and brandy custard.

So today's recipe is for custard, but not just any custard, brandy custard.

here goes:

make custard according to directions on the pack (you thought I'd give you recipe for making custard, bah humbug!) and measure a quarter of a cup of brandy, rum, grand marnier etc for every 3 cups of warm custard. Mix in till smooth then keep at room temperature till you put it on your cake or pudding. To stop a skin forming on the top of the custard place some cling wrap on it but if you are like me you just loove the skin that forms on top and if you aren't careful you end up eating half the custard.

If you like a runny custard just increase the amount of milk or alcohol to the custard mix.

I like to make a thicker custard rather than flavoured runny milk.

Well, there's my recipe. Enjoy!
