What are the main ingredients for a great Christmas, apart from presents?

Food of course, with a selection of delicious delights and special packages to suit every discerning palate…

Traditional recipes that have been handed down through the generations, always delight, like those amazing mince pies and of course Christmas would not be a Christmas without the pudding.  This age old tradition, with its origins dating back to Medieval England, often had a hidden token or favour within the pudding.  The person who found it would have good luck should they come across the silver coin or other favours would include a Bachelor’s button and if a single man found it they would stay single for the following year or a Spinster’s/Old Maid’s Thimble, should this be found by a single woman they would stay single for the year and should a ring be found this predicted a year of wealth and the possibility of a marriage proposal.  Holly is also thought to bring good luck and was often planted near houses in the belief that it would protect the inhabitants.

The perfect pudding recipe for your Christmas pudding should have the spices of Cinnamon and Nutmeg and plenty of dried fruits, Currants, Sultanas and Raisins. This combined with the traditional flavours of oranges and lemons, finished with a generous amount of your favourite festive tipple! Chefs recommendation is Captain Morgan’s dark rum as its rich tastes of sweet molasses pair particularly well with the citrus and spice.
