Sounds yummy Dave, the recipe choice depends on how rich you want it really and how long you are going to let it mature and soak in booze!
Have you tried added the grated rind of a big orange to that mixture, some glace cherries and maybe a teaspoon of all-spice rather then individual spices, but then of course everyone has to like ginger etc and if they don't best to leave it as it is.
I'm no good on cup measurements LOL I only understand oz's or g's or tablespoons!
LOL

They're fl.oz (fluid ounces) and fluid milligrammes, on a measuring jug, you really want scales for ozs and gs as they are dry weights but I'm told it works out pretty much the same anyway. If you're used to cups hun you stick with 'em! ;>)
Most recipes these days give both cups and the others so no problem!
:>)
I'm cheating this year (again) due to time constraints, I've got a bought rich fruit cake from Tesco and I'll just marzipan and royal ice it - sad but true LOL

OK chaps you'll end up running dry on guinness before Xmas arrives!
Yes I saw the pudding test last night on Rick Stein's programme - interesting.
Amazing how a word (GUINNESS) can bring all these guys out of the woodwork
guess that's the secret girls!

There has to be other secrets, but the huge advantage of Guinness is that it can be left in the bottle until needed........ :-)
