Must try edible Christmas Gifts

As we creep closer and closer to Christmas Day, it’s time to get cracking on planning your Christmas menu, putting up the tree and buying gifts. But this year, why not make gifting that little bit sweeter by making your own edible gifts?

 

With just a little effort, you can whip up stunning and delicious edible gifts, guaranteed to impress. Plus, the effort you put into these treats will be truly appreciated by all who receive them. After all, who doesn’t love reaching for something delicious to munch on?

Sauces and Condiments: homemade condiments and sauces are a lovely touch to any meal, especially during barbecue season. That’s why a homemade chutney can make a wonderful gift. Packaged in a pretty jar, with any serving suggestions or best before instructions included with the gift. Just be sure to sterilise the jar before adding your condiment.

 

Flavoured oils and spice rubs: homemade spice mixes and oils are the perfect gift for any passionate home cook and foodie in your life. They are very quick to pull together and so versatile. Choose different oils, spices and flavours you like and package them up in gorgeous jars and bottles, ready to gift.

 

Cookies, sweets and chocolates: who doesn’t love delicious rum balls, gingerbread cookies or shortbread. They are a Christmas necessity and also make gorgeous gifts. Why not wrap your sweets in cellophane and finish off with a bow. In the lead up to Christmas why not try making rums balls or delicious white Christmas, but remember to make extra for yourself to enjoy.
