I liked all the ritual for Christmas preparation and marinating fruits for a year. Actually in Cyprus we also make a Christmas fruit cake. On our part we invest a lot of time of making our own fruit preserves, which we use in the cake. Next year I shall have this in mind and shall marinate my fruit to see how it works. Thanks for the post. Happy New year. (by the way are you the same person commenting on Peter's blog?) What a small world!!Ivyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12370053555998889434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-92013163461187518332007-12-28T22:13:00.000-04:002007-12-28T22:13:00.000-04:00My dear friends, I thank you all most sincerely for your warm holiday greetings and best wishes for the new year.
