GravyA really easy way to make Gravy for Christmas in advance is to buy some Chicken or Turkey stock cubs, dissolve in boiling water as per instructions on the packet and then pour into a saucepan adding a finely chopped carrot, a potato and a small parsnip. Boil on the hob until all the vegetables are tender and then blend with a hand blender. If it is too thick add another stock cube dissolved in water until it is the consistency you prefer, some people like their gravy thick whilst others less so. You can add a few chopped herbs and a splash of white wine to taste and then pop it in the freezer. I usually take it out of the freezer before I go to bed on Christmas Eve. Mulled Wine SachetsMulled Wine Sachets I love mulled wine at Christmas, this Christmas we are having neighbours round for mulled wine and mince pies on Christmas Eve. However mulled wine sachets can be very expensive. To make things less expensive and stressful I made my own mulled wines sachets in advance.
StuffingAs a child we always had the instant add boiling water stuffing which I have grown really fond of. So I prepare my childhood favourite in advance.
