Baked Red Cabbage
This piquant red cabbage dish is always better if made the day before. It is popular in Denmark on Boxing Day. We like it as a side dish with a slow roast belly of pork.

Cranberry and Orange Muffins

Cranberry and Orange Relish
Juicy. piquant and delicious! A relish is cooked for a shorter period time than a chutney and does not need to be stored and matured before eating, which makes this the perfect quick and easy recipe for Christmas. Wait for the fresh cranberries to arrive in the shops and make some for yourself and some to give away as a gift. (If you can bear to part with it) The recipe makes 3 standard size jam jars (378ml/1lb)

Quincemeat
This recipe is inspired by Nigella who in turn was inspired by Frances Bissell. My recipe is very fruity using a high ratio of quinces instead of the Bramley cooking apples that I would use in my traditional recipe. I keep mine in the fridge as the storing time is slightly reduced due to the high amount of fresh fruit. However it easily keeps from quince season 'til Christma. This recipe will make about 4 kg and is best made in a mincer if you have one. If not a food processor will do, but go steady and don't over process or you will have pulpmeat.
