This is a great recipe for a starter or canapés. I love this recipe as everything can be done in advance. Here I have used a cooked beef brisket, which is available in most supermarkets. They tend to be slow cooked so are lovely and tender and full of flavour.

I’ve created a number of festive recipes including this – HERE. I use sweet and succulent Medjool dates. They 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 pastry skills. Pop a brie in the middle of a baking sheet. Cover with a pastry roll. Cut and twist the ‘stars’ with a dollop of Cranberry Sauce in each. Brush with yolk and bake.
What a wonderful centrepiece!
All you need is Stokes in the cupboard, and a little inspiration:
