I like all of that. Nest year, try the duck fat basting. It will add to the already great process you have. I just order a jar on Amazon.

I was going to ask you were you get duck fat from. Then I read your last sentence. Amazon is a huge boon for the amateur cook. If you can't find something at a store you can find it there. I had a hankering for proper Miso soup but could not find one key ingredient at the grocery store, actually two of them. Amazon to the rescue.

Thank you for the contribution! Can't wait to try this.

Although i adore plum pudding i think they can be too heavy after a big celebration main course. The chocolate log is much lighter.

I knew someone who made several fruit cakes a month or so ahead of time and added rum or cognac several times and let it "percolate". I never got the recipe, but it was the most moist, "fruitiest" fruit cake I ever had.

Perhaps a similar recipe

I usually make 2 in late September or early October.
