Traditional yule recipes

This wassail recipe has been passed down in my family for a long time. It was adapted for the slow cooker some time in the 1980s and has been an easy alcoholic drink for Christmas or Yule ever since.

As the holiday season approaches, one dessert that truly embodies the spirit of Christmas is the Bûche de Noël, also known as the Yule Log Cake.

It's a staple on holiday dessert tables across the world, charming guests with its rich flavors and striking appearance.

This Scottish yule bannock is halfway between a traditional yule bannock and a modern day shortbread. The flavours are perfect around Christmas with cinnamon, allspice, mixed peel and cherries and the beremeal adds a nutritious traditional element. Traditionally yule bannocks were made with oatmeal and our modern day shortbread originally came from the traditional yule bannock. These yule bannocks are made with beremeal from Orkney.

These rich, buttery Yule moon crescent cookies are a rich, nutty shortbread sprinkled with snow-white powdered sugar. They’re one of my favorite Christmas cookies, and I don’t think a holiday cookie plate is complete without them. They don’t require any rolling or chilling, and are easy and quick to shape and bake. They're simple enough for even your little helpers to shape, so definitely try these if you’re baking with kids! #holidaybaking #yule #crescentcookie #wintersolstice
