Christmas Recipes

Orange Brandy Fruitcake. A rich cream cheese batter serves as the base for this simple but delicious citrus infused fruitcake that will be the absolute star of your Christmas baking.

This deeply flavoured vegetarian onion gravy can be made with beef or chicken stock if you prefer but I often don’t bother to tell guests the difference.

Auntie Crae’s Plantation Chews. Soft, chewy, crispy, nutty, caramel-y delicious! These flourless cookies are also easy to make gluten free!

Maple Roasted Vegetables. Roasted Autumn vegetables with a light, lemon maple glaze. One of the most popular side dishes ever on Rock Recipes, especially around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Chocolate Orange Nanaimo Bars. A new recipe with a twist on the classic Canadian treat, the Nanaimo bar. Here the sweet centre gets infused with tangy orange flavour.

Double Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies, Makes soft, chewy, chocolatey cookies with great mint taste too. This cookie dough freezes very well for baking off even months later.

Gumdrop Cake. A dense buttery pound cake packed with brilliantly coloured morsels of gumdrop candy. It’s very popular during the Holidays or as a birthday cake here in Newfoundland.

Lassy Mogs. A Newfoundland favourite; well spiced, soft cookies with a deep molasses flavour and filled with dried fruit and crunchy pecans. Irresistible!

Coconut Lemon Crumble Bars

Haystack Cookies. An updated quicker and easier version of this old fashioned recipe, using sweetened condensed milk to prepare this simple type of macaroon.
