Jingle all the way - Castlereagh Borough Council

Reducing food waste this Christmas…
‘Love food, hate waste’!
The ‘Love Food Hate Waste’ campaign has put together some top tips to
help us all make the most of our festive food!
• Stilton or other cheese can be frozen if you can’t get through them,
and don’t forget that strong cheese makes great sauces and soups .
• Add herbs or even chilli to leftover veggies and meat, and make a
wonderful, hot soup to have after the Boxing Day stroll.
• Chestnuts are highly perishable because of their low fat content. To
keep them fresh enough to use for week or so, put them in a plastic
bag in the salad drawer of the fridge. Freeze those you don’t wish to
eat over Christmas.
• Pile leftover smoked salmon onto toasted bagels spread with cream
cheese and sprinkle with lemon juice and black pepper. Or mix into
scrambled eggs for a Boxing Day breakfast.
