As requested by Lee, here are a couple of recipes/ideas for Christmas
treats. I can only give NZ/Aus points for them though, sorry.

Has anyone else got Christmas recipes they'd like to share?

First thing, I made meringues yesterday, raspberry choc chip with
crushed candy canes mixed in. They are sooo good. I'll definitely be
making these again and they're so low in points.

The next two recipes are ones that I'm planning to make next week, but
haven't yet tried. I hope they're as good as they sound.

Mocha Fruit Cake

1kg mixed dried fruit
2 cups strong black coffee
150g fruit and nut chocolate, roughly chopped.
2 cups self-raising flour

1) Soak the fruit in the coffee overnight.
2) Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius. Coat a 20cm x 28 cm tin with
cooking spray. Line the base with baking paper.
3) Mix together the fruit mixture, chocolate and flour.
   Spoon mixture into the prepared tin. Bake in oven for 50-60
minutes or until cooked through.
