    Cook's tips

    As time is short at such a busy time of the year it is useful to know that this recipe can be prepared in advance and frozen until required. For best results after freezing defrost thoroughly and serve warm rather than cold. Place in a preheated oven 180C, gas mark 4 for 10 minutes.

    Variation

    As an alternative to cinnamon, add the finely grated rind of an orange or two satsumas.
