<p>This traditional festive fruitcake is best made well in advance, and can be fed regularly with brandy, sherry, whisky or rum. Traditionally baked on Stir-up Sunday (the last Sunday before Advent), this cake just gets better the longer it has to soak up the flavours and develop a moist, rich texture.</p>

<p>Turkey beware – this meaty side-dish might just steal the show! Pack in three times the flavour with these triple pigs in blankets. You can prepare them a day or two in advance and keep on a baking tray in the fridge. On the day, roast in the oven for 30-35 mins until the chipolatas are golden and the bacon is crisp, then sit back and watch them disappear as soon as they hit the table.</p>
