the stars of this year’s show Making their entrance, here are ‘Quality and innovation are always important to us,’ says Joanna Johnson, Senior Manager of Own Brand Strategy and Innovation. ‘Every expert who works alongside us shares our passion for producing only the very best products. We began working on the exciting new Christmas range 18 months ago. The team looks at ingredients trending in restaurants, magazines and social media, and decides how the key flavours can be used in foods our customers will love. This year, these are the three heroes that are sure to wow.’

Truffle

‘Earthy and deeply savoury, truffles are rich in special umami flavours that we’ve used to infuse brie, olives and stuffings. Traditionally, pigs were used to snuffle around tree roots to sniff them out, but they proved too tasty for them to resist! Now, expertly trained dogs find them instead.’

g Salted honey Blood orange

‘If you’re a fan of salted caramel, this evolution will definitely appeal. Salted honey works beautifully with sweet and savoury dishes, from showstopping desserts and joints to cheese and chocolate. Chefs call this “flavour layering”, with salt enhancing the honey to make it taste even better.’

ble ‘Add pizzazz to your tab with a seasonal treat that was once reserved for royalty. The crimson flesh and speckled red skin of these Sicilian beauties brings a pop of colour to winter. Sweeter than most oranges, they’re sensational in puds and bring a fruity touch to glazes on turkey and ham.’

S M A L L O V E N S AV I O U R S Pushed for oven space to cook the Christmas meal? Our stress-free solutions will help

Resting the turkey for longer not only makes it even more succulent, it will free up the oven to cook your sides. Allow the bird to rest, covered in a few layers of foil and a tea towel for up to an hour – it’ll still be piping hot.

Nervous that a whole bird won’t fit into your oven? A turkey crown or joint is the perfect option. It will fit in a smaller roasting dish, giving you space to cook the sides at the same time.

Planning to cook multiple sides? Before the big day, check cooking times and how many roasting trays you can fit in the oven at once. Mix and match with dishes that can be microwaved or cooked on the hob.
