Ginger & Christmas pud cheesecake with ginger sauce
A set pudding is perfect for entertaining - this one has a creamy texture, dotted with fruit sponge and ginger loaf
Pour the red wine into a large saucepan. Add the clementine, cinnamon stick, star anise, dried figs, cloves and black peppercorns. Heat very gently until simmering, then turn off the heat.
Fish out the whole spices and peppercorns with a spoon, then stir in the brandy. Ladle into mugs, or heatproof glasses to serve. You could drop in a slice of clementine to each.
