Well it's official, I'm broke. So with that in mind, I'm making christmas this year. Some things I've always made, but this year the shopping list is going to be a lot smaller.
So with that in mind, what does everyone else make for christmas?
My list will include..
Christmas cake.
Christmas pudding. check
Shortbread.
Mince pies.
Mincemeat for above.
Cheese straws
Pesto twists.
Peanut brittle.
The bird I raised myself and is sitting in the freezer awaiting the big day.
I'll be using some of the beans I salted in the summer.
I made some redcurrant jelly, so that's going to replace cranberry sauce.
I've collected some chestnuts and have herbs in the garden to make the stuffing.
So apart from a few ingredients and some fresh veg I won't be racing round the stores like a headless chicken, worrying if I've got everything.
Well I hope you all are having a better time of things because if things don't pick up after christmas I could well be practicing certain outdoor survival skills..
