A much loved family recipe, the Pohutukawa Pantry 2Kg Christmas Cake is bursting with fruit. Carefully selected sun-dried apricots, raisins, sultanas, cherries and tangy citrus, are soaked in Kaiapoi Distillery's exceptional quality crafted brandy, warmed by the Canterbury sun and turned regularly over three days making the fruit plump and juicy while developing the flavours and heavenly aromas. Fresh free range local eggs and locally sourced flour mixed with the finest festive spices help to bind the mixture. The cake is topped with nuts, cherries and ginger and once baked, is brushed with brandy and glazed with homemade Southland apricot jam.
