Christmas pudding crumble

As Christmas gets ever closer, if you haven’t got your food sorted, there’s no need to panic – it might be time to cheat! And cheating doesn’t mean poorer quality when you buy from Tesco’s Finest range. Don’t spend time fiddling around with bacon and sausages – buy your pigs already in blankets! Roasties can be hit and miss – make sure yours are always a hit with Finest Goose Fat Roast Potatoes or follow our easy recipe. Add Christmas cake, pud and mince pies to your shopping list and make sure you keep our roast turkey with olde English chestnut stuffing recipe handy and you’re all set for the big day. Happy Christmas! Nichola Palmer – Recipes Editor, goodtoknow

A really big sandwich that is packed full with leftover Christmas turkey, stuffing, sausage and salad leaves. A quick and easy snack for 2 people that will use up any leftovers you might have.

  • Serves: 2
  • Total time: 10 mins
  • Skill level: Easy peasy
  • Costs: Cheap as chips
  • 6 slices granary bread
  • 6 tsp mayonnaise
  • 6 slices cooked turkey
  • 2 tbsp cranberry sauce
  • 4 tsp cooked stuffing
  • 4 cooked chipolatas, halved lengthways
  • 2 handfuls of rocket and chard salad or other leaves
  • 4 cocktail sticks

This sandwich is not just good for leftovers, it’s perfect for festive lunches all the way through December

  1. Spread one side of each piece of bread with the mayonnaise. Top 2 slices of bread with the turkey slices and cranberry sauce.
  2. Put a second slice of bread, mayonnaise-side up, on top, then pile on the stuffing, halved chipolatas and a handful of salad leaves.
  3. Put the last slice of bread on top. Push 2 cocktail sticks into each sandwich to hold them together, then cut the sandwich in half and serve.

Cumberland Sauce – It Only Sounds Stuffy

I’ve always wondered why Cumberland sauce wasn’t more
popular around the holidays. It’s such a delicious and versatile condiment, and
just as easy and fast to make as any cranberry sauce out there.  Maybe it’s the name?


Cumberland sauce sounds more like something that the Queen
would be spooning over a Quail en Croute than it does Uncle Charlie over a
slice of ham. However, despite this sassy sauce’s upper-crusty sounding name,
it’s actually quite rustic.

My “Black Cumberland” version uses black currants instead of
the traditional red, and also includes some very browned-blackened onions, but
like all similar recipes, this begs for even further adaptation depending on
the meat. Maybe a little mint for lamb, or a touch of cardamom for that smoked
duck breast?

Notwithstanding any flavor variations, you will still need
to decide whether to serve hot or not. I definitely prefer the thick, shiny
cooled-down version as shown, but happily, there’s no wrong choice. I hope you
give this extra special holiday sauce a try soon. Enjoy!


Ingredients to make about 1 1/2 cups Cumberland Sauce:
1 tsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup minced onions
1 cup black or red currant jelly
zest from 2 oranges and 1 lemon
1/3 cup red wine
1/2 cup orange juice
2-3 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp black pepper, or to taste
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp dry mustard
pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp ground ginger
salt to taste
