That's a thought - I have to use up my last half of mincemeat in the fridge. I might toddle out to get a block of butter to make the season's last batch of mince pies...

Top Tip for next year. Pour Vodka over it before igniting. Much cheaper and burns more easily. Save the Brandy for after..........with the cigars etc.
