Desserts to serve with Christmas lunch

"A recent survey revealed nearly a third of us don’t actually like Christmas pudding, but there are plenty of other delicious options available. Desserts using fruit are a great choice at this time of year and with apples, pears, tangerines, grapes, figs and pomegranates in season you won’t be short of choice.”
- Ross Sneddon, Pastry Chef at the Balmoral Hotel
