I make my own -they are dead easy and make a nice pressie for friends. I also make Chocolate truffles (would you believe i still have chocolate from some Easter eggs that needs using up)

Last year I was dead keen and made a selection with mince pies and Cantucci (almond biscotti) for friends. I also made my own patés and terrines too -am still waiting for inspiration this year...

I have put the dried fruit steeping in Brandy and Port for the mince-meat this aft. -once you've tried home-made you'll never buy Robinson's jars again! (I use Delia Smith's recipe without the suet!)

Normally I also make home-made ravioli with a braised beef stuffing on Xmas eve, while listening to my Xmas CD's.
