Very festive! I can see how this would be a great Christmas recipe - although it's pretty good in May, too! The flavours are reminiscent of Christmas cake (in a very subtle way). I used a food processor to chop all the "chopped" ingredients quite finely, using all red cherries instead of mixed red and green, and I made a half-batch of the recipe - but accidentally forgot to half the amount of rum. It worked very well, despite my error :-) Reviewed for Pick A Chef, Spring 2007.
