Starting a traditional English Christmas pudding this Sunday. First time (American).

Question to anyone with experience: will it be alright to have it sit in an airtight container until Christmas day? All the examples I see show it being left to rest in open-air, but I've been having a bit of an ant problem lately and would hate if they got to it.

Shortbread, Christmas Rice Krispie squares, white chocolate chip banana bread, pillsbury cookies, butter tarts, peach cobbler. Then on December 2nd...

I'd like to see how it goes. I'm amerifat too, but I've never had the guts to try it, although I've wanted to from reading Dickens and such.

If you have a chance and time post some pics of the process and the recipe. At the very least, the britbongs might end up agape!

>>8328971

are you going to brine or marinade it first?

>>8329115
I stared at 'agape' for a solid minute, wondering what that sentence meant, because I read it as agàpe.
I fucking hate English.

>>8329278
Sorry. I just meant with mouth open in astonishment. English is a bitch of a language.

>>8328832
not to hijack this thread, but it seems relevant: how do i into mulled wine/glog/gluwein?

>>8328832
I'm making a batch of squares in an hour or so, but overall for the holiday I'm planning on making some Christmas appropriate cookies (gingerbread, sugar, little shortbread ones with the tiny blob of pink icing), more squares, war cake, and probably two pans of fudge (one normal, one something like peppermint fudge). I'd make things that weren't so simple, but I don't really have a lot of time or money this year.
Also it was my grandma who taught me how to bake if anyone was wondering why I'm only making old lady recipies.

>Butter tart
Mah nigga, the most under-appreciated baked good there is. Also, you mentioned butter tarts and Nanaimo bars in the same post, Canadian confirmed.

>>8328832
Wish I had the patience to make fancy ass sugar cookies like that.

gingersnaps
lebkuchen
pfeffernusse
gingerbread cake
buche de noel probably
black forest cake with cranberries instead of cherries
maybe a couple of other things

What's a butter tart?
It sounds interesting.

I've already made Lemon Bars, and Pecan Pie Bars.
I will be making Biscotti (two kinds), Gingersnaps, and this italian fried dough that I don't know the name of. My Nana taught me how to make them. Pic sorta related, its just Fried Dough with sugar on top.
