5 Recipes to Celebrate Camper’s Christmas

During the month of July, we met Santa Claus, the Star Fairy and a few elves while celebrating Camper’s Christmas at the Les Cèdres campsite in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. Trailers were decorated and adorned with twinkling lights for a colourful day of celebration. For the occasion, we developed seasonal recipes inspired by the flavours of the holidays, which can be enjoyed while camping or out in the backyard this summer.

1. Turkey Burgers with Cranberries

Cooking a turkey in the oven for hours in the middle of summer? No thanks! Opt for ground turkey instead to make these burger patties. Add breadcrumbs and diced raclette cheese to ensure they're tender. And where there’s turkey, cranberries are never far behind – the burgers are therefore topped with pickled cranberries.

2. Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dogs

Make the most of grilling season by wrapping your hot dogs with bacon before cooking, and then glazing them with a maple-garlic sauce at the very end. Top them with coleslaw and mustard.

3. Parmesan Potato Salad with Anchovy Croutons

This potato salad is sure to be a hit. Reminiscent of a Caesar salad, it boasts a mayonnaise, lemon and Parmesan dressing. Garnish with croutons that are browned in a skillet with anchovies and garlic. For even more fun, sprinkle some crushed chips on top. It's the perfect recipe for a summertime potluck.

5. Lime Shortbread

To this classic shortbread cookie recipe, add lime juice and zest for some kick. To ensure a proper texture and even cooking time, don't forget to roll out the dough to the recommended thickness. The kids will be happy to run off with a few of these fir-tree-shaped cookies in hand.
