Tear and Share Christmas Tree – 2 Ways

This Christmas sharing snack, a tear-and-share pastry tree, can be made sweet or savoury. This savoury Christmas tree bread recipe is filled with the locally made Food Lover’s basil pesto, topped with cherry tomato baubles.  The sweet Christmas tree pastry recipe is filled with the fruit mince mix (made with our famous ‘red bucket’ fruit cake mix – at Cape Roasters in Cape Town.) and chocolate. Simply irresistible, it will be eaten up before you can say Merry Christmas.
