Serves 6Roast Gammon with Blackened Crackling with Citrus, Rum and Raisin Sauce
The citrus, rum and raisin sauce is the perfect foil for the richness of the gammon and the sweet crisp crackling. This would make a superb centrepiece for a hot buffet at Christmas.
Serves 4The ‘How to Cheat’ Christmas Pudding with Rum and Mascarpone Sauce
This is a bit of a clever wheeze, if I say it myself. Instead of buying all those Christmas pud ingredients, take a jar of mincemeat from Sainsbury’s and short-circuit all of that.
Serves 6Souffled Sole Creams with Champagne Sauce and Salmon Caviar
This recipe is blissfully easy and all of it can be prepared in advance. In fact, I find it works best if you prepare the purée the day before. Dry white wine can be used instead of Champagne, but if you place an upturned teaspoon in the bottle of Ch

Serves 4-6Braised Wood Pigeon with Cider Apple Sauce and a Confit of Apples and Shallots

Serves 6-8Leg of Lamb Baked in Foil with Butter and Herbs with Redcurrant, Orange and Mint Sauce
This lovely lamb recipe includes some classic accompaniments - redcurrants, mint and oranges - combined in what Delia describes as the quickest but most beautiful sauce for lamb ever.
Serves 8Confit of Duck with Port and Sour Cherry Sauce
This is perfect for New Year's Eve or any other celebration meal as you prepare it well in advance then, on the night, simply put it into the oven to heat through. The sour cherry sauce is sensational!

Would you believe it? All you do is use a jar of quality mincemeat, plus a few extras and you can rustle up a last-minute Christmas pud in no time at all.
