Lockdown, empty shelves, no Christmas delivery slots available are the most important details that come to my mind when " picturing the picture" of shopping online for Christmas dinner.
Knowing that this " picturing the picture" have a very strong possibility of happening, I purchased via Amazon.co.uk 6 kilos of mince meat ( 2 three kilos Country Range containers by Food Service Direct) , 16 kilos of Nelstrops flour for £14 and 24 silicone cupcake moulds for £4.99.
Mince pies can make Christmas happen "anyhow" because together with Christmas pudding marks Christmas season quite well.
This year will skip on baking ginger cookies because of health concerns with ginger seasoning and how excessive seasoning can impact in our future health and instead will opt for baking orange cookies. Today I am crystallising four oranges for that purpose.
What are your plans for Christmas baking and are you relying on early Christmas shopping? If so bear in mind that is widely advised not to buy most brands of ready made mince meat pies and store them in the cupboard for such a long period of time.
The National Trust Mince pie recipes and Christmas pudding recipes are the most accurate recipes but I don't use nuts nor extra seasoning in my pies and I keep it plain and easy only using as ingredients: flour, butter, very little sugar, no salt and ready made mince meat.
Are you friend of baking or you consider baking and crafts just a waist of time?
