Hot fruit punch is a great favourite in our house: this one, Northern Lights, based on a beverage we shared at a Christmas Market in Germany years ago!

 

In a large pot, preferably with a lid, mix:

  • 1 x 1l carton of Cranberry juice
  • 1 x 1l carton of Apple juice
  • 0.5l of red grape juice
  • 6 cloves
  • 4 cinnamon sticks (approx 5cm long each stick)
  • 250g of fresh cranberries, if you can find them,
  • 3 thickly-cut slices of lemon, peel-on;
  • one green apple, cut into 5 or so thick rings (cored if you wish)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons dark Muscovado sugar, according to taste.

IMG_20201230_151403.jpg

Bring all to the boil, then simmer for 30mins before removing the lemon slices.

 

Leave to simmer for a further hour or so (this concoction will gladly sit simmering all day so long as you don't let the pot boil dry, and remember to top it up with the juices described above occasionally) and then serve up in warmed cups or mugs.

 

For the adults, a shot of vodka, rum or brandy added to your portion will help to melt the effect of any outdoor activity undertaken in snowy, windy or wet conditions. Served without the alcohol, it is also a favourite of the younger mouths in our family, and it suffuses the kitchen with heavenly aromas of Christmas spices...

@TallTrees 

It all looks absolutely wonderful. You are very talented. I love Chicken kievs.

and New minted potatoes.

Even though I'm not a vegetarian, I could eat everything on offer.

Both finished off with fresh fruit. Delicious.

Our family Christmas is on the 26th this year when we are having a 3 course carvery out at a local wonderful restaurant (specialising in Carvery meals (what else?) ๐Ÿ˜‚

On Christmas day, with just 3 of us at home, we shall be eating steak, chips, mushrooms and baked beans.

Thank you for showing us your wonderful offerings.

Well done you. ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿฅ‡

Happy Christmas to everyone. Be safe and well xxโค๏ธ

Traditional turkey and the trimmings for me, followed by Christmas pudding, mince pies and fresh cream.

Love the traditional meal too @Oxonian 

I adore Christmas pudding usually put it but this year change.  

I love all the trimmings and roast potatoes, sage and onion sausage meat stuffing. My mother used to add bread sauce too!

Enjoy your meal ๐Ÿ˜‹ 

Thank you
