    I usually use a packet stuffing but after tasting how good the 'real thing' is I definitely wont be going back - gorgeous, and all the guests loved it!

    I made this last Christmas & it went down very well with the whole family. This year I made it again but rolled it in streaky bacon (as in the Christmas 2007 chestnut & cranberry stuffing recipe) It worked really well, I made two rolls, one hot on Christmas Day & another one with cold meats a few days later.

    I would like to make this for Christmas lunch, and was wondering if it can be made in advance and frozen?

    Made this for a change from packet stuffing, now a family favorite.

    The stuffing tasted good although I would probably choose another type of sausage than the suggested Cumberland. The type imported over here are not that good I'm afraid! Otherwise, I would give this recipe a go.
