Even Scrooge came round to it in the end, saying: “A Merry Christmas to everybody, A happy New Year to all the world! Hallo here! Whoop! Hallo!” And, that was without YOUR Food Lovers Newsletter and all the gift ideas, foodie tips and recipes we’ll be sharing. These are YOUR Yuletide Yummies.
CHRISTMAS WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Like most fine things in this world, Christmas needs a lot of careful and treasured planning. What you, your family and your friends get out of it, is only as good as what you put into it.
Curious expressions, excited family, happy guests, smiling relatives … so worth the effort to see those loving faces.
When it comes to the ‘yummy‘ side of your festive feasting, we have you well and truly covered.
Our little jars of joy are simply bursting with the natural flavours that lift every foodie element of what you serve, from merely ‘delicious‘ … to … ‘oh my goodness, this is wonderful…‘.
But, just like Christmas itself, what comes out of those jars is only as good as what goes into them. The thought, the trials, the love, the ingredients. Give your Christmas what it deserves…
TASTE WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Fig Relish – we love it and so will you.
We soak the figs in cider vinegar and selected spices for a minimum of 8 hours to saturate the sweet figs with their tangy flavour. It is fantastic with cheese and brings leftover turkey to life, deliciously.
RECIPE: Try serving these Goats Cheese & Fig Relish Crispy Filo Rolls – your guests will adore them.
Dip, fill, dollop – Stokes, Sauces for Food Lovers, offers so many quirky ways to add depth, dimension and taste to all manner of finger food.
Go on, try some of these – we’re excited just telling you about them.
Beef Brisket Croquettes
These will probably be the first to go, so make plenty.
RECIPE: The really good news, everything can be done in advance. The soft, tasty beef brisket (available in most supermarkets) is wrapped in a crispy panko jacket. Beef and our Creamed Horseradish Sauce – YUM.
Stokes Devils on Horseback
RECIPE: Resident Chef Andy says: “I use sweet and succulent Medjool dates, which have a moreish natural sweetness that goes perfectly well with creamy blue Stilton and the relative tartness of our Fig Relish.”
Cranberry & Brie Pastry Star:
Time to test your imagination – and your pastry skills.
What a wonderful centrepiece!
All you need is Stokes in the cupboard, and a little inspiration:
Gruyère & Smoked Salmon Tartlets:
RECIPE:
Finish these with the punchy fruit of our Cranberry Sauce for a well-balanced offering your guests will adore.

Win smiles with these Mini Beef Yorkshire Puddings with Creamed Horseradish Sauce:
Ours is gentle, deliciously smooth Creamed Horseradish Sauce using English horseradish and fresh cream, that lets you enjoy its full flavour without bringing tears to your eyes – or upstaging your tender, sweet, roast beef.
Enjoy!
The gift that keeps them smiling – deliciously.
Tickle their taste buds with something yummy under the tree this year. Instead of gloves & scarves to keep the cold out, gift-wrap our Chilli Collection to warm their hearts.

The perfect gift for someone special who is partial to a little cheese and wine, containing 4 of our most popular relishes and chutneys:
Stokes Fig Relish – A sweet fig relish with a slight tartness, brimming with dried figs (60%) and made with cider vinegar and molasses for a great complement to cheese.
Stokes Chilli Jam – A delicious sticky jam for cheese that is just oozing with flavour from the sweet chilli peppers and red peppers. Particularly good with mature cheddars and soft brie.
Stokes Red Onion Marmalade – A red onion relish made with sticky black treacle and rich balsamic vinegar. Fully flavoured with a delicious sweet sauce.
Stokes Sticky Pickle – A scrumptiously sticky pickle with our own unique blend of vegetables in a sweet and spicy sauce made with molasses and black treacle. Yum!
