If, like me, you have a few kilos of assorted Christmas cakes hanging around in December and January, this is a good way to use them up. Of course Christmas occurs in summer in the Southern Hemisphere and in winter in the north. So, Antipodeans can make this with figs and in the UK we’ll have to use pears or imported pineapple.
