What are your must have Christmas food treats?

[Pinkkisugarmouse]

For DH it’s a really strong cheddar. Far stronger than supermarkets seem to sell.
We each get a box of Hotel Chocolat which we start on Christmas Eve and mine last a few weeks. I will get an alcohol free Rum. Used to have real rum at Christmas but developed a sudden allergy. I may think of others but those are the ones that immediately come to mind.

Christmas dinner trimmings are my biggest treat, I love them!
Mash, roasties, bread sauce, gravy, maple roasted parsnips and carrots, stuffing, greens, red cabbage...so good! 😋

Also love chocolate biscuits, mince pies, linzer biscuits, lebkuchen, clementines, m&s Christmas granola, chocolate covered marzipan

Did anyone else try Sainsbury's clementine Curd a few years back? It was delicious but they haven't had it back these past two years.

This one from M&S is lovely and £10 a bottle: https://www.ocado.com/products/m-s-cremant-de-bordeaux-blanc-brut-527814011

I also like the Cremant De Bourgogne from Sainsbury's.

Oh this sounds divine. I've been looking up recipes from orange jams to make some sweeter versions of marmalade and a clementine curd looks right up my alley too. I see lots of egg yolks in my future.

Thankyou . 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️ im off to M&S!! 🥂🥂

Yes it was lovely , but as you say , not made a reappearance.
There was a Blood Orange Curd that was nice too -also never seen again.

This one is my go-to , I buy a few jars if I'm in a Waitrose

Ooh, I missed the blood orange curd @70isaLimitNotaTarget . We need to protest outside Sainsbury's We want our curds back!
