I’m assuming there is a reason you didn’t mention sourdough but that’s what comes to mind for me.

If you like Christmas Cake, Delia Smith's recipe is excellent.

I went through a phase of making infusions during the first part of the pandemic. It's fun, but there's not much to do. You just combine the ingredients typically and wait for it to infuse. This ginger liqueur was a bit more hands-on:

Cassoulet?

I like making vanilla bourbon, but that's a 30-second project.

Your headline made me think of something labor-intensive like Beef Wellington or a Buche de Noel. Maybe Julia Child's beef bourguignon. But in terms of things like your post - what about just straight-up canning, like apple or pumpkin or pear butter?

I’m thinking of some kind of project where I can keep something in a cupboard and age.

Like British Christmas cake that you make now and brush with alcohol between now and Christmas.

Or prunes in Armagnac.

Maybe infusing vodka?

Does anyone have any ideas along those lines or good specific recipes? It doesn’t have to be sweets, but those are the two that came to mind.
