Christmas is the perfect time of year to make Irish Christmas Recipes for family and friends. If you want to do something a little different this year, maybe think about trying a traditional Irish Christmas Dinner.
Traditionally, Goose was the main dish in Ireland for Christmas dinner. To acquire a goose you may want to try the local farmer market or try online ordering. Once you have a goose planned, this recipe for roast goose with potato apple stuffing is an excellent choice for the main dish.
For the side dishes, you can make your own cranberry sauce instead of using the canned kind. It is normal for tables in Ireland to have several kinds of potatoes as side dishes, baked, roasted, mashed, you can pick and choose or try them all. Vegetables range from peas to carrots to cabbage, and so on.
You will want to serve this recipe for Irish Soda Bread with your Christmas dinner as well.
Now, for desert, you must, try this recipe for plum pudding with brandy butter. This is one of the best plum pudding recipes I have ever come across.
