Christmas stuffing

[PotteringAlonggotkickedoutandhadtoreregister]

I’ve decided I fancy a change this year - every year I make a cranberry stuffing and the other people at the table (AKA the heathens 😂) just eat the sage and onion.

so hit me with your best Christmas stuffing 🎄

I always make a simple pork, sage and onion stuffing.

It must have apricots!

Oatmeal stuffing.

Just Paxo sage and onion stuffing but made with sausage meat. Delicious. Can't beat it with any of the fancy stuffings.

How about a mushroom and chestnut stuffing?

As per @pbdr I just mix up paxo sage and onion and add sausage meat. If I can be arsed I baste the top with juices from the turkey which adds extra flavour. Otherwise you could add chestnuts, apricots, dried figs or an apple and parsnip combo should work well.

There's a great one with Jamaica ginger cake which has the sweetness if you're not doing the cranberries this year!

Another pack and sausage meat. I like it simple.

Paxo!

I use de-skinned caramelised red onion sausages made into balls. Everyone loves them.

I like nut stuffings. This one is nice www.waitrose.com/ecom/recipe/cranberry-hazelnut-sage-stuffing?srsltid=AfmBOooqTptv7iP3slRi4AxhvsUekPDC6cGOcgiXOt20RPJAnZI0rrdt

Anything by delia

I peel and finely chop an apple, finely chop a couple of shallots. Fry. Tip into large bowl. Big handful of fresh sage ragged about on the mezzaluna. Add to bowl. Big chunk of sausage meat goes in. Add enough Waitrose chunky fresh breadcrumbs until it feels like a sticky, but crunchy texture. Season. Pop in small baking tray lined with foil. Add to oven when pigs in blankets go in.

Yum.

Sounds nice

Some lovely looking ones there, thank you!

don’t worry, Paxo (Aldi equivalent 😂) will be on the table but I do like a fancy Christmas stuffing!

Stuffing mix mixed with sausage meat (get a nice one from the butcher's) wrapped in bacon. Can do it balls but I do mine in a loaf tin and serve as slices. I think it's a Jamie Oliver recipe, I've been doing it for donkeys years.

These all sound great, Jamaican ginger cake sound like it would be brilliant with gammon

Celery and lemon - old recipe from my mum, and a chestnut and walnut one, from an old Safeway magazine, was originally an alternative to the turkey - done as a loaf with parsnips lining the bottom, but was so good I do it as a stuffing now.

Delia's 18th century Chestnut one in her Christmas book.

Skirlie.

Home made sage and onion for Christmas.

Boiled, sliced onions, loads of dried sage, breadcrumbs veggie atora and plenty of s&p.

This one. But loads of different herbs. And egg and butter not attora. Best thing about Christmas!

I made a few of these last year too and everyone loved them.

A parsley and thyme one with chopped hard boiled eggs, suet and breadcrumbs. My b 1860s gt grandmothers. All done very much by eye and how it feels/smells. It shouldn't work but it does!

Otherwise, an adapted version of the Nigella chestnut (I think it's on here as an official Mumsnet recommend)
