"This was a fabulous recipe as a seasoned cook & maker of celebration cakes I found the recipe easy & adapted the fruit as my sister hates mixed peel!! It froze beautifully & looked stunning put out for tea on Boxing Day and tasted divine. What was left kept really well in an air tight tin too. Definitely on the list for next Christmas!"

Braised red cabbage with cider & apples

"Really easy dish to prepare and freezes beautifully and big advantage that you can reheat it gently from frozen so you don't have to remember to take it out of the freezer hours beforehand! Not only good at Christmas with turkey but we love it with sausages and especially toad-in-the-hole."

Gingery Christmas cake
29 comments
"I make a christmas cake every year but have always stuck to a tried and tested recipe handed down from my late mother. When I saw this recipe in the Good Food Magazine as we are all ginger lovers I decided to try something different this year. Instead of using Just the raisins, currants & sultanas, I made up the same weight of fruit with a mix of large golden raisins, stoned raisins, sultanas, glace fruit & cherries. What a hit! Everybody loved it! My husband so much so that he's asked if I'd make it again without the marzipan and icing as a fruit cake for his lunchbox!"

"Fantastic recipe real comfort food for the winter months goes with so many things! I used savoy cabbage instead of sprouts and added some finely sliced spring onions to the mix. Make a double batch and use some and freeze the rest. Freezes beautifully just make sure the mix isnt too wet. "
