0:03:14 > 0:03:19- Ty Cerrig Christmas tree farm is at - the heart of the Vale of Glamorgan.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Its seven acres - is home to 16,000 tree.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27- This family business has run - since the first planting in 2006.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34- We grow eight types of - Christmas trees on the farm.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39- They include the Norway spruce, - Nordmann fir...
0:03:39 > 0:03:45- ..two types of pine trees, - grand firs and blue spruces.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- The Nordmann fir - is the most popular choice...
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- ..because it's a non-drop tree.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04- However, the Norway spruce - is a more traditional option.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- There are 16,000 trees here - so you're spoilt for choice.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16- It takes seven to eight years - for a tree to grow to seven foot.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- This small tree - was planted in March...
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- ..and won't be fully grown - until 2023.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- Whilst at the farm, a delivery - was made to a local village...
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- ..so a large, towering tree - was cut down.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38- Fortunately, - we were available to assist Andrew.
0:04:38 > 0:04:44- Yes, well... as they say, - "Stick to the day job, Llin!"
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- This is an eight-year-old - Nordmann fir tree...
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- ..and it's among - the most popular trees.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- If you purchase this tree from here - it'll cost you around 50.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01- Customers visit and choose a tree.
0:05:01 > 0:05:07- We cut the tree down - and they can take it home.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Once at home, - you must take care of the tree...
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- ..so it still looks fresh - on the big day.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- Water the tree on a daily basis...
0:05:27 > 0:05:33- ..and keep it away from any heat.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Having searched for many hours...
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- ..I've discovered my perfect tree.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- There's one thing left to do and - that's to find my way out of here!
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- I hope Llinos found her way home.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02- The most important thing on - a Christmas menu is the turkey.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07- But do you know how to cook - the perfect turkey?
0:06:07 > 0:06:12- Here's Nerys Howells - will her handy tips.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- Nerys is in the kitchen...
0:06:15 > 0:06:20- ..to prepare an important element of - any Christmas lunch - the turkey.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- The turkey made a big bang earlier.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- The turkey made a big bang earlier.- - Yes, it was the turkey.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- I'm going to start - with the stuffing.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- I think stuffing makes a difference - to the turkey.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- In the pan, I have small cubes...
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- ..of pancetta or smoked bacon.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- Dry fry the meat - and don't add any extra oil.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- There's a lot of oil - oozing out of the meat.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56- Allow the meat to brown - for about five or six minutes...
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- ..before adding - two finely chopped onions.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Add the onions to the bacon - and stir it.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Are you stuffing the turkey - with this?
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- Could you stuff the turkey - with a different stuffing?
0:07:12 > 0:07:17- Yes, as two years ago, I made - one with pork or sausage meat...
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- ..and chestnuts.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- I'll add chestnuts to - this stuffing mixture.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- You can use rice, cous cous - and other ingredients.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- Turkey meat can taste quite bland - so the stuffing adds extra flavour.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- It depends on the type - of turkey that you buy.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- This is a free-range turkey...
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- ..from the Cuckoo Mill Farm - in Pembrokeshire.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- They've been organically reared...
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- ..which means the turkey - will have a better flavour.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- It's worth spending more - on a quality turkey.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59- I'll return to the stuffing, - while the onions are cooking.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- I'm using the breadcrumbs - of a wholemeal loaf.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- To this, - I'll add finely chopped herbs.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13- Throw in a bunch each - of thyme and sage.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- I like a lot of herbs - and add some parsley.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- These are all fresh herbs.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- I grow my own sage and thyme.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- But for some reason, - I can't grow parsley.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- Does it matter - if you use fresh herbs or not?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- If you use dry herbs, - you only use half of the amount.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Use a tablespoon each - of the dry herbs.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- Next, we have the zest - of citrus fruits.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- These are clementines, - oranges and lemons.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51- I've used one orange, one lemon - and two satsumas or clementines.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- I've never tried stuffing - with these ingredients before.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- I'm looking forward to it.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03- Next, add fresh grated nutmeg.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- It's got a traditional - Christmas flavour.
0:09:07 > 0:09:13- There's a slight spice to nutmeg.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- I've already cooked these chestnuts.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- I'm using 150g.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23- You can purchase chestnuts - which have already been peeled.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- You used to peel them.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- That was my job every Christmas Eve!
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- But it isn't easy!
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- I've given up on peeling them.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40- I cut corners on this - and buy them prepared.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- I won't tell my mother - and it'll save me a job!
0:09:43 > 0:09:48- The onions have started to brown - and soften.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53- I'm going to add finely chopped - turkey liver.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- This needs a minute to cook.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- You don't have to include this.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Did it come with the turkey?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- If you buy a turkey from a farm...
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- ..you will have the giblets, - liver, heart - everything.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- People can make a soup from it.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18- They're flavoursome - and liver contains iron.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- They're nutritious.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- I've added all of the ingredients.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- I'm going to transfer the - ingredients from the pan.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Mix the ingredients.
0:10:32 > 0:10:38- I'd usually leave this to cool down.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Why do you leave it cool down?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- It's easier to handle.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- You could do this beforehand...
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- ..and freeze it.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57- I'm going to add - one large beaten egg...
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- ..and stir it again.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06- I'll move on to the turkey...
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- ..before I run out of time.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15- Do you need space in the turkey - for the stuffing to cook?
0:11:15 > 0:11:20- I put the stuffing - at this end of the turkey.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- I'm going to show you - what I place inside the turkey.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- If you can turn the turkey - like this.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28- Do you want help?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Do you want help?- - The turkey is standing by itself!
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- He learnt his lesson earlier!
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- Season it with salt and pepper...
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- ..before stuffing the turkey - with some fruit and herbs.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47- I have sage, sliced orange, - clementines and satsumas.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53- There's also bay leaves...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- ..and parsley stems.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- Don't waste anything.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- This is going to give the turkey - extra taste and moisture.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04- Turkey can be very dry.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10- You have to make sure - that you don't overcook it.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15- I've released some of the skin...
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- ..around the breast area.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- I'm going to place the stuffing - around this area.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- The stuffing is still quite hot.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- You'd leave it to cool down though.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- You'd leave it to cool down though.- - Yes, definitely.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- You place the stuffing - between the skin and the meat.
0:12:35 > 0:12:41- Yes, it helps to give the meat - extra flavour and moisture.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46- Cook this in the oven...
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- ..at 190 degrees Celsius - or gas mark 5.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- You will need to cook it - for 20 minutes per kilo...
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- ..plus an extra 90 minutes.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- This turkey will need - around three hours.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- I'm not going to stuff - the entire turkey now.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11- Place it in a tin with a rack.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- There's space under the rack too.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- You could put onions below the rack.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- You can tuck the skin under - the turkey or use a skewer.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27- Will the turkey fit in the oven?
0:13:27 > 0:13:33- This is between five and six kilos.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- This will feed 12 people.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- They say each pound - will feed one person.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- Smother the turkey with butter.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43- You could also use bacon.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- We put bacon on top of the turkey.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- Add some salt and pepper...
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- ..before placing foil over it.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- You will also need - to add water to the tray.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- The water creates a steam - as it cooks.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- It will stop it from drying out.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Some more salt and pepper.
