  Mixed view on this one - although it only has the zest of 1 orange in it, the orange was overpowering - if I made again I would probably just use the lemon. I've got most of the mix in the freezer ready for Christmas day - not quite sure what to do to temper the flavour of the orage - any suggestions?

  Yes this stuffing is quite fruity, but it does work with the Christmas turkey, with clementine and bay butter. Next time I will only use half the amount of zest.

  I only put the lemon zest in and felt it worked well. Also didn't have cherries so used a few cranberries. Very fruity as you say but I enjoyed them.
