Food
Unexpected guests and need an instant pudding? Try Bay Trees fabulous Marinated Miniature Figs - marinated in white wine and rum they are delicious served over ice cream or greek yoghurt. Equally delicious are their Christmas syrups - blackcurrant with port or Christmas syrup which can also used for mulling.
Just in, we have Ford Farm Cave Aged Truckles a perfect gift at £8.50 for 600 gms which would go perfectly with Bath Oval biscuits and some Quince paste.
To liven up cold turkey Bay Tree's Christmas and Boxing Day Chutneys would be perfect.
Bit of the Side's Cranberry and Red Wine Sauce is so good, not just with turkey, try making a brie and cranberry toastie, delicious.
Drinks
We have back by popular demand Bath Ales Festivity a specially crafted porter, and new lines Ginger Hare, a spicy ale and their Bounder Cider. For a extra special cider, why not try Pilton Cider which is produced using the traditional method of keeving.
We will also be stocking The Chocolate Society's, now made in Shepton Mallet, their wonderful dark and milk covered honeycombe which goes by the great name of Hokey Pokey and their truly delicious cocoa dusted almonds, chocolated coated orangettes and ginger pieces.
Gardens
During December, flowers in the garden are scarce. Mahonia, a shrub related to Berberis, is a worthy addition to a garden. One of the best is a Mahonia ‘Charity’, a hybrid having dark green leaflets and deep yellow scented flowers; blossoming from November to February. It will grow 2.5m – 3.0m high. After flowering, prune back each shoot to a bud below, often removing 30cm – 50cm long. Our shrub at Kilver Court was planted 30 years ago and, as well as normal pruning, has been cut back hard over a period of twenty-seven years (half one year – half the next).
Seasonal Tip: Keep Christmas trees outside for as long as possible. Cut 5cm off the base and place in water. Tree holders that have a water reservoir are best to keep your tree as fresh as possible, but remember to top up the water periodically.
And finally…
We really hope you have enjoyed your Friends membership in 2011. If you’re still looking for a gift for the person that has everything why not give a Gift Membership this Christmas?
