Homemade food gifts

[statlerwaldorf]

If you give food gifts, what all do you make?

I did cookie mix in jar and homemade vanilla extract one year. Last year was beer bread mix and a bottle of seasonal beer. Not sure about this year yet. I like to do mixes so that people can make them whenever they'd like, since there's always soooo much extra food around the holidays.

This year's is a variation of this:

allrecipes.com/recipe/one-bowl-chocolate-fudge/ with toasted pecans, chopped craisins and orange extract instead of the typical walnut and vanilla.

Last years' was alton brown's sea salt caramels.

This year I'm doing fudge.
In the past I've done truffles, hot chocolate pods, apple cider mulling reindeers, chocolate covered stirring spoons...

Every year I make biscotti for gifts:

Holiday Biscotti

In the past I've also made homemade caramel corn, chocolate covered oreos and pretzel bark.

I always make english toffee.

I've made fudge, spiced nuts, truffles, granola and our family's traditional nut roll. I'm not sure which of these I'm making this year. I'm considering caramel corn.

I do a lot of canning so I gave homemade jellies and jams. I also did homemade vanilla extract, hot cocoa on a stick, and cookies this year.

in the past I've done cookies and bark. I was planning on doing roasted nuts this year but got too busy and never got around to it. Hopefully next year.

Home made gifts don't have to take much time, and are a wonderful concept of your loved people. For the "down home" cook, complete a gift bag with flour or cornbread blends, stone-ground grits, maintains or syrup and pack it with some beautiful wrappers.
