    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?

    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.

    Absolutely lovely. I made this to go with a roast chicken last Sunday and it smelt like Christmas had come early. Really easy to make and so much better than a packet. The leftovers of both the chicken and stuffing were fantastic cold in a sandwich. Alan - I'm sure this would be fine to freeze in advance.

    Full of flavour and really easy to make. I made it in a loaf tin and served in slices with roast chicken and a rich gravy - delicious! Liked the flavour of the apple pieces with the sausage meat - will definitely make again.

    Made this to go along a roast chicken dinner for my mum and it was FAB. So much better than packet stuff, and as I had made it ahead and frozen there was no fuss on the big day. YUMMY!!
