As the clock is counting down until Christmas day; with less than a month to go, have you started sorting out your Christmas treats and presents? Do not panic if you haven’t, you still have a few weeks to get organised and find the perfect gifts.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! We officially have permission to get excited and start decking the halls and start planning for the big day. And one thing that is a good idea to plan in advance is Christmas dinner. That is because there’s likely to be a few things you may struggle to get closer to the big day.
We know fresh meat is king but sometimes you have to compromise, and with the uncertainty of the poultry industry right now, your best bet is either to reserve a fresh one with a local farm shop, or buy a frozen turkey to defrost ready for the big day. Which is the better option depending on your budget.
There are somethings you can’t get in advance that just don’t taste quite the same frozen, personally we prefer fresh vegetables on Christmas day, especially (and an item that is a bit of a sticking point in some family arguments) is the sprouts. We think the best sprouts are the ones on a stalk, if you can get them, they’ll likely be the best quality.
Desserts are something you can think about in advance too, a lot of people go for the traditional Christmas pudding or Christmas cake. However, if you or a loved one aren’t a fan of dried fruit, then you’ll want an alternative. There are some crowd-pleasing options available when it comes to Christmas cakes (that aren’t fruit-based), but if you’re looking for an alternative to tradition there’s a few other treat options available.
One of the Christmas treats we have on offer and would like to highlight this year are our brownies. Our brownies are a little bit different, instead of the traditional square or rectangular brownies, they are round, this gives you a more generous portion (and everyone gets the best bit of the brownie) as they are cut into 8 wedges. Plenty for everyone to enjoy.
Christmas Brownies
Deliciously fudgy and chocolatey, all of our brownies would make a fabulous treat in the lead up to the festive period, or as a Christmas Day dessert. They would even make a nice and unusual Christmas gift for someone. Here are the brownies we have available:
