Except for the brandy, they are all pretty much the way I've always made a quick vanilla frosting.

In England, Steve's mother used to make a hard icing for puds with nothing but icing sugar, butter, beaten egg and vanilla.

I was never wild about eating it because the egg wasn't cooked, even though it was kept refrigerated.

Craig's oma made a fudge pudding to go with hard sauce. It's a baked pudding.

Sass - it's all in the timing....

starting in the mid-90's UK required salmonella vaccines for all hens with the "Lion seal" - analogous to the FDA shield marking/program/standards.

the industry fought salmonella vaccinations for egg producing hens - the cost was like 19 cents/bird at the time. so now they have to keep eggs under refrigeration 24 hrs from egg lay to your shopping cart.

methinks they did a stoopid.....


incidence of salmonella in UK is very low; the Netherlands had zero (domestic) cases recently (two vacationers were sick-on-return)

so I did the middle one - with the vanilla - and some "Jefferson" bourbon
60 g butter + 120 g confectioner's sugar - came together splendidly.
the vanilla version is really close to what we remember - thanks for the tip LT

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Weren't you supposed to save that fruitcake for Christmas, Tom???

P.S. Your "hard sauce" looks exactly like my butter frosting. And I make it exactly the same way, only next time, I may add your brandy. :D

. . . . has to be sampled / qc'd (g)


that hard sauce for the fruit cake is much too stiff for a frosting - especially kept in the fridge. a couple drops of water would certainly thin it.


getting the right proportions is tricky when making such a small qty - not much room for error.
