• Christmas Puddini Bonbons      I saw Nigella on TV making
little truffles from leftover Christmas pudding. During the show
she recommends a specific brand of sherry for the Puddini
Bonbons. I didn't quite catch it, so I'd be really grateful if

nigella team:      The sherry used by Nigella in the Christmas
Puddini Bonbons (from Christmas) is Pedro Ximenez. It is a type

sherry in her Ultimate Christmas Pudding, so will have it in the
cupboard already. However if you don't have PX sherry then sweet
Marsala would be a good alter
