Christmas is coming and that means gift giving. How many of you like to give homemade gifts for Christmas? Me, me, me so here is what I came up with for you. You can right click on the image of the recipe save it to your computer and then print it out or go to the bottom of the post and click print.
Hot Fudge Sauce
Give this hot fudge with maybe an ice cream scooper to encourage them to try it on their favorite ice cream, by the way it’s pretty good too.
Jalapeño Jelly
Pepper jelly is a great jelly to have on hand for dipping sauce for chicken strips, or for putting over cream cheese and eating with crackers. My friend Aubrey and I made the pepper jelly during the summer but just used the standard box recipe, I found a few other recipes that you may like better you can click here for fun looking Christmas type or here for an all natural one using no food coloring or pectin.
Peppermint Cocoa
Wondering how to put the word COCOA on the glass jar its easy, I went to Hobby Lobby and bought rub on letters in the sticker section, super simple.
Chocolate Cover Peanut Butter filled Pretzels
Need something yesterday then these are it, found these little nuggets at my Sam’s club and it was a no brain-er for me, just melt chocolate and dip these guys in because everything taste better dipped in chocolate. Put the pretzels in a clear cellophane bag tied with a ribbon and instant cute.
Homemade Flavored Vinegars
These vinegars are so simple and easy to make and they looks so pretty too. Tie a ribbon with your favorite salad recipe or other use for these vinegars and viola! The Mother Huddle has my recipe for these vinegars so check them out.

Happy Holiday~enjoy the food, family and friends.

These are such great ideas! I especially love the hot fudge recipe & how you used rub~on letters for the cocoa. Love it!
thanks so much
what great gift ideas! I made homemade gifts for the first time last year, and am doing it again this year. Last year I made spice rubs….this year I am doing a spice rub paired with a homemade peach bbq sauce, also some cinnamon apple jelly and fig balsamic preserves. Fun!!
Found you on Saturday Swap!
mmm… spice rubs with peach bbq sauce sounds great.

Wonderful gift ideas! Now, if I could just get a couple more hours in each day to get them made!
I know what you mean about needing the extra time, thanks for visiting me here during such a busy time of year.
