Asked on 17 Nov 2019 by Adeebee

Hi Lindsay
In preparation for Christmas and using Delia's Christmas book, can you advise if the two following recipes can be prepared in advance and frozen:
Christmas rum sauce
Cranberry and orange relish?

Many thanks for your advice.

Hello,

For the Rum Sauce…

You could freeze the white sauce part then add the remaining butter rum and cream when you reheat it.

You might find it separates and needs a vigorous whisk to bring it back together.

As the all in one sauce method is so easy, overall, I would say making it fresh is less effort than making, freezing and reviving it!

I would have everything weighed out and ready to go.

For the Cranberry Relish it can be stored in a lidded container on the fridge for 5 – 7 days or you can freeze it on the day it is made for up to 3 months

Kind regards

Lindsey
