Can I make Jamie's MOF stuffing Christmas eve, store in fridge and cook Christmas day?

Or will it be ruined?

I think you can prepare most stuff and heat it up? Kirstie Allsopp made roast potatoes a month in advance and froze them

a month - wow! That's what you call being prepared

don't know the recipe but if it's sausagemeat then it benefits from being made up a day or so in advance imo.

Aitch Would you assemble on Christmas eve and then cook on christmas day?

Or cook on christmas eve and reheat on christmas day?

The recipe is just a basic one

sage
chestnuts
onions
sausagemeat
stale breadcrumbs

I would assemble on Xmas Eve and then cook on Xmas Day.

Thank you

me too. sounds LUSH. i love sausagemeat stuffing. and don't put it in the cavity of the bird, just a bit in the neck and then some in a bread tin or somesuch.

Thanks Aitch, I was going to put in the cavity! I've found a tin I can use instead now

if you put it in the cavity the bloody bird needs to be in for HOURS so the meat gets terribly dry. stick a bit of garlic or onion in the cav, alongside a couple of bayleaves and an orange or lemon or whatever citrus you have floating around. some cinnamon stick or cloves also nice.

plus if you use a tin for the rest it goes all sticky and crunchy, which is delicious.

ooh sounds delicious, thanks Aitch.

I'll buy a lemon to use instead and raid my herb cupboard
