Now, if you are anything like me there are always people out there that you want to give presents too but you aren't sure what to give. Or the other type of person, the ones where you aren't sure whether your relationship has 'present giving' status. So my advice is food gifts, they are quick to make and easy to give. Also means that after they are gone they are gone, the receiver is not left with something they can't use. I have used various edible gifts before. For the friends you know like fresh food but have no time how about Cranberry and Macadamia Cookie Mix in a Jar. Weigh out all the ingredients for your receiver, all they have to do is add the wet ingredients, mix and bake! Easy!
Or how about a beautiful jar of Luxury Chocolate Fudge Sauce, you can even make some for yourself! It will go amazingly with the Christmas Pudding alternative that I will be adding to the Cooking For Fun blog soon, so look out for that.
Or how about some bottles of homemade Mulled Apple Juice, I love this stuff and when I served it up last year it went down brilliant, even with the traditional Mulled Wine drinkers!
The new recipes I would like to add today are Rocky Road and Cherry Shortbread, these are what my neighbours are receiving this year with their Xmas Cakes! A bag of these in each goodie bag will go down well. And it is easy to just make a few extra for yourself too!!
