Although I have been thinking about my Christmas menu for a while now, I have yet to start on the actual prep work. I had grand designs of spending the weekends baking and freezing so that come Christmas Day, I could actually relax and enjoy the day, rather than spend it in a steaming kitchen. The plan has yet to be followed. This weekend we are away so I'm not actually sure if I'm going to have as much done in time for Christmas as I'd hoped, but I'm going to have to get myself in gear or I know I'll be flapping about on Christmas Day!
Anyway, to try and gain back some advantage, Friday night I am going to be making sausage rolls, lemon shortbread dough, scotch bonnet pickle and preserved lemons. The latter two are actually to be given away as gifts, but they need time to pickle. The sausage rolls and the shortbread dough will remain uncooked, and I will freeze them. That way I can just put the cookies in the oven as and when needed. Ditto with the sausage rolls.
