Pre-dinner Nibbles
Smoked Cheddar, Prosciutto and Rosemary Bites
A super simple, but super scrumptious nibble for Christmas from Quicke’s Cheese, this bitesize canape has the ultimate mix of gooey smoky cheddar, salty prosciutto and fragrant rosemary.
Ingredients
- 18-24 thin rashers prosciutto ham
- 150g Quicke's Oak Smoked Clothbound Cheddar, rind trimmed and cut into 24 pieces
- Several sprigs of rosemary
Method
1. Heat the oven to 200C/180 fan/gas 6
2. Carefully wrap the prosciutto around the cheese pieces (you may not need a full slice of prosciutto for each piece of cheese, depending on the size).
3. Put the rosemary sprigs on a baking tray and place the wrapped cheese pieces on top. Roast in the oven for 15 mins until golden and crispy. Serve immediately but be careful, as they will be very hot!
This recipe is part of Quicke’s festive cheese canapes series, you can see the rest of their ideas here.
For the Main Course
Stuffed Turkey Leg
Since the 1600s, turkey has been a popular choice for the Christmas Day meal, and Ben’s Farm Shop in Exeter have come up with their own spin on this family favourite.
Ingredients
A medium sized turkey leg, boned with all tendons removed, stuffed and rolled up with a couple of rashers of streaky bacon (the whole caboodle is available from our butchers’ counter)
- 1 red cabbage, quartered, cored & shredded
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- A good knob of lard/goose fat/beef dripping
- 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 2 Bramley apples
- 3 tbsp cider vinegar
- 250ml turkey stock
Method
1. For the cabbage: In a heavy saucepan, gently sauté the onion in the fat for ten minutes, add everything else except the apple, put the lid on and cook in a 140ºC oven for 2 hours. Put the turkey leg on a baking tray and put it in the oven also. Take out the cabbage pan, stir the grated apple into the cabbage. Turn the oven up to 200ºC to crisp up the turkey skin while you finish the cabbage
2. Mix a sieved tablespoon of flour with 4 tbsp of crème fraîche and a teaspoon of English Mustard powder in a large bowl and mix in the red cabbage (a ladle at a time). Return it all to the saucepan and cook, on the hob, for another 10 minutes over gentle heat. Check the seasoning - hopefully the acidity of the grated apple will come through - and the cabbage will be lusciously creamy. Take out the turkey and allow to rest for a few minutes before carving
3. Chez Watson, bread sauce and potato crisps round off the meal, both for the carbohydrate element and communal dunking but it does make for a very messy plate. C'est la vie!

Christmas Spiced Sticky Toffee Pudding
The Galley Fish and Seafood Restaurant in Topsham really do dish up the very best of Devon on a plate. As well as celebrating the finest fish and seafood our shores have to offer, their puddings are also pretty delicious too. If this spiced pudding doesn’t get you in the mood for Christmas, nothing will!
Ingredients
For the pudding:
- 225g Medjool dates, stoned and chopped
- 175ml beer or ale. We love using St Austell Brewery – Tribute
- 175 self-raising flour
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- Pinch of ground cloves
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 85g softened butter, plus extra for greasing
- 140 demerara sugar
- 2 tbsp black treacle
- 100ml milk
For the sauce:
- 175g light muscovado sugar
- 50g butter
- 225ml double cream
- 1 tbsp black treacle
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180c
2. In a saucepan, warm the ale gently over a low heat. Put the dates in a bowl and pour over the warmed ale. Cover with clingfilm and leave to soak for approximately 30 minutes. Then blend until smooth with a hand blender. While the dates are soaking you can prepare the ramekins and make the pudding
3. Grease and flour seven ramekins (each about 200ml) and sit them on a baking sheet
4. In a large bowl, mix the self-raising flour, ground spices and bicarbonate of soda
5. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy, before slowly adding the beaten eggs. Beat in the black treacle. Then, using a large metal spoon, gently fold in one-third of the flour mix, then half of the milk, being careful not to over beat. Repeat until all the flour mix and milk has been used
6. Stir the date puree into the pudding batter. Spoon the batter between the tins and bake for approx. 20 – 25 minutes, until risen and firm
7. Now make the sauce. Put the light muscovado sugar and butter into a medium saucepan with half the double cream. Bring to the boil over a medium heat, stirring all the time, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Stir through the black treacle, turn up the heat slightly and let the mixture bubble away for 2 – 3 minutes until it is a rich toffee colour, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t burn. Take the pan off the heat and stir through the rest of the double cream
8. Remove the puddings from the oven. Leave in the tins for a few minutes, then loosen well from the sides and turn out carefully
9. To serve, spoon a little of the sauce into the bottom of each bowl, and top with a warm pudding. Gently coat the sponge with extra sauce. Best served with clotted cream for extra luxury

Darts Farm Christmas Pudding
You can't beat a homemade pudding on Christmas Day! Delicious served with clotted cream or brandy butter. Darts Farm have created a real showstopper, guaranteed to impress and leave your home smelling delicious.
Ingredients
- 375g dried mixed vine fruit
- 75g dried apricots
- 1 small cooking apple, peeled, cored & roughly chopped
- 1 orange, finely grated rind & juice
- 3 tbsp brandy, sherry, or rum, plus extra for flaming
- 75g butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
- 100g light muscovado sugar
- 2 free-range eggs
- 100g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- 40g fresh white breadcrumbs
- 40g whole shelled almonds, roughly chopped
Method
You will need a 1.4 litre pudding basin
1. Measure the mixed fruit & apricots into a bowl with the orange juice. Add the measured brandy, stir & leave to marinate for about one hour
2. Put the measured butter, sugar & grated orange rind into a large bowl & cream together with a wooden spoon until light & fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs, adding a little of the measured flour if the mixture starts to curdle
3. Sift together the flour & mixed spice, then fold into the creamed mixture with the breadcrumbs & the nuts. Add the soaked dried fruits with their soaking liquid & stir well
4. Generously butter your pudding basin. Cut a small disc of foil or baking parchment & press into the base of the basin
5. Spoon into the prepared pudding basin & press the mixture down with the back of a spoon. Cover the pudding with a layer of baking parchment paper & foil, both pleated across the middle to allow for expansion. Tie securely with string & trim off excess paper & foil with scissors
6. To steam, put the pudding in the top of a steamer filled with simmering water, cover with a lid & steam for eight hours, topping up the water as necessary
7. To boil the pudding, put a metal jam jar lid, or metal pan lid, into the base of a large pan to act as a trivet. Place a long, doubled strip of foil in the pan, between the trivet & the pudding basin, ensuring the ends of the strip reach up & hang over the edges of the pan. This will help you to lift the heavy pudding basin out of the pan of hot water when it has finished cooking
8. Lower the pudding onto the trivet & pour in enough boiling water to come half way up the side of the bowl. Cover with a lid, bring the water back to the boil, then simmer for about 7 hours, until the pudding is a glorious deep brown colour, topping up the water as necessary
9. When cooked through, remove the pudding from the pan & cool completely.
10. Discard the paper & foil & replace with fresh. Store in a cool, dry place
To serve on Christmas Day: Steam or boil the pudding for about 2 hours to reheat. To flame, warm the brandy or rum in a small pan, pour it over the hot pudding & set light to it. Recipe sourced from Darts Farm
