I need a list of things I can make before Christmas that are worth the effort and taste better than shop bought.
So what do you all think about:
Christmas Pud - always make my own but wondering if shop is actually nicer.
Chutneys - any really good recipes you would recommend?
Bread sauce
Cranberry sauce
Pickled onions
Yule log - worth the effort
Christmas cake - Link to a good recipe?
Mince pies - do you buy the pastry? The mincemeat? Or make it all?
Do you think these are better when you make them yourself? Have you given up making anything and now shop buy as its easier/tastes better?
Anything else which is better HM than bought in a shop?
