Making sure that the prefect Christmas dinner is prepared for Christmas day, is not one of the easiest thing one can do. To plan and serve a delicious, three- or five-course meal, with all the best ingredients, takes a lot of time and effort. By knowing the right time to start making each and every dish, saves you a lot of hard work on the day.
Here is five tips that will help you get everything on the table on Christmas Day, without any stress and worries.
•Tip 1: Start making your pudding now – do that first before anything else. You can even make it up to a year in advance.
Christmas Puddings need a minimum of 6 weeks to mature and they can easily last over a year in a cool dark place, so get started early and make your pudding now. They will still eat it, I promise.
•Tip 2: You can also start making your vegetables up to three months before Christmas Day. After cooking it, freeze it. Those who don’t eat their vegetables won’t even mind on the day.
•Tip 3: Start making your sauces two to three weeks before the day. Freeze them and then reheat on the day. Yes, they will still be saucy.
•Tip 4: The day before Christmas, peel the rest of your veggies and potatoes and parboil. Start with your stuffings, and the other side dishes that you have planned.
•Tip 5: On Christmas Day, only cook the meat that you have chosen, reheat everything that is already DONE, and sit back and relax. You can go buy bigger jeans the next day for the Christmas tummy, or just wear sweatpants, they don’t mind.
Enjoy your Christmas Dinner!!
