Go wild this Christmas and you won’t go wrong

Christmas is not the time to grab any old food off the shelf and hope it will do. Christmas lunch is probably the most important meal of the year, so when you go to endless trouble getting the turkey just right, make sure the traditional trimmings do it justice.

English Provender Company’s Wild Cranberry Sauce ticks all the boxes. Made with the tiny, bright red, berries found growing wild in Scandinavia, it is a little bit different, and rather special. Once in the hands of the experts at English Provender, these juicy little berries are cooked in traditional open preserving pans, continually stirred as you would if making your own cranberry sauce at home. The result is a delicious sauce with a sharp clean taste – the perfect partner for your roast turkey.

And even if you are not eating turkey, there’s still plenty of excuses to open and use up a jar of English Provender Wild Cranberry Sauce:

- Try its fruity tartness alongside rich meats like venison or duck.
- Add a spoon or two to your gravy - a fruity little trick used by many a professional chef!
- Spoon over rounds of baked goats cheese straight from the oven
- Mix a few spoonfuls into the filling of a home baked apple pie to add a rosy colour and a fabulous flavour
- Serve as a dip alongside an oven-baked camembert starter
- Mix a couple of spoonfuls into your favourite chocolate brownie mixture
- Whirl through a vanilla cheesecake mix, then spread more on top to finish
- Stir into home-made fudge or chocolate truffles – perfect for a festive hostess gift
- Flavour muffins, bread and scone mixes with a couple of spoonfuls
- Mix with mustard and use to glaze a joint of pork or pork chops before cooking
