Jamie Oliver’s Christmas Cookbook - The Happy Foodie

Leave overnight, or for a couple of days, so the flavours infuse, leaving you with a light, sweet, bitter, spicy dimension to your cocktail. It’s a deceptively easy make-ahead alternative to traditional Christmas pudding, packed with a host of festive flavours, from chocolate sauce and cherries to Vin Santo and Panettone.Remembering to work out enough time for the bird to come up to room temperature, to cook, and to rest for 2 hours will determine when you start cooking and when you eat. Cover the bird with your rashers of bacon, stretching and weaving them into a criss-cross pattern however you like. You want to cook a higher-welfare bird for 25 to 30 minutes per kilo, and a standard bird for 35 to 40 minutes per kilo. The residual heat will continue to cook the bird, giving the juices time to travel back throughout the meat, meaning a juicier bird all round.

Strain the gravy through a coarse sieve, pushing all the goodness through with the back of a spoon, then season to perfection.
