Christmas spice recipes

Get grinding those festive spice blends for these Christmas spice recipes. Mulling spices – cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg – have so much more to offer than to perk up cheap red plonk. Use the flavours to add some festive sensory sparkle to everything from meaty stews to sweet syrups – they’re a must-have in your festive cooking.

Try a sophisticated spin with mulled pears three ways,  a fragrant mulled fig and apple Christmas cake or a hazelnut meringue cake.

It’s not all about sweet treats. Our mulling-spiced apple biscuits make the perfect partner for cheese, mulled wine-braised venison cobbler is the warming meal you need in your life and our blood orange, burrata and cinnamon-cashew salad is the perfect start to any festive meal.

Want to warm up with a tipple? Check out our mulled drinks collection.
