Before you jump to Christmas Fruit cake recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about The Basics of Being Healthy.
You already understand that, to achieve true health, your diet needs to be sensible and wholesome and you need to get a good amount of exercise. Sadly, we do not always have the time or the energy that this type of lifestyle requires. When our work day is done, most people do not prefer to go to the gym. People crave sweets and salts, not veggies (unless they are vegetarians). The good news is that making healthy decisions doesn’t have to be irritating. If you keep going with it, you’ll get all of the required exercise and healthy food. Here are some of the best ways to be healthy.
Consider the stairs. Instead of picking the elevator, climb the stairs to your floor. Obviously this isn’t as plausible if you work on the 25th floor of a high rise, but if you work on the fourth, climbing the stairs is a great way to get some exercise in. Even if you do live or work on one of the top floors, you can still get off of the elevator early and climb up the stairs the rest of the way. So many people pick the elevator over hiking even a single flight of stairs. That just one flight of stairs—when taken a few times a day—can be just the additional boost that your system needs.
There are a good deal of things that work toward your getting healthy. Intensive gym visits and directly defined diets are not always the answer. Little things, when done every day, can do plenty to enable you to get healthy and lose pounds. Being intelligent about the decisions you make each day is a start. A good amount of physical activity each day is also critical. Remember: being healthy isn’t just about reducing your weight. You need your body to be strong too.

Steps to make Christmas Fruit cake:
- In a large bowl with mixed dried fruit, Add the brandy and give a good mix. Then cover with clingfilm and soak for 3 nights in the fridge.
- On the fourth day(after 3 nights of soaking mixed fruits in brandy), Grease and line a 20cm cake tin, preferably with a removable base.
- Preheat the oven to 150°C.
- With an electric mixer, beat the butter with the sugar and black treacle until paler and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs, beating each one at a time.
- Add the flour and mix with spatula. I don't use electric mixer for the flour.
- Now add the mixed fruits, almond powder. It might look a bit messy at this point but that's how it would be.
- Pour into the pan. Top it with almonds. This will help for good appearance Incase we don't have time to decorate later!
- Cover the pan with parchment paper to overturn the top layer. Keep the pan in oven for 3 hours at 140 *C
- Switch off oven. Allow cake to cool down.
- Keep in airtight container.
- On the day of decorating, knead the marzipan and roll it over. I did according to Waitrose video on YouTube.
- You need 2 TSP apricot jam a bit heated to apply on cake so that marzipan sticks to it.
- 12 hours after marzipan dried, I applied the fondant icing similar to how marzipan was kneaded, rolled and stuck on cake. Cut out the edges.
- Then stick the edible stars
- Keep in airtight cake container until ready to display.
