Christmas is a time of giving...and eating. Why not combine the two for your favorite friends, relatives, coworkers and random foodies. Actually, these gifts are great for any occasion!

Gifts in a Jar

Gifts in a jar are easy and long lasting. They are appreciated by cooks for their unique new ideas. The novice cook loves them because they are generally simple recipes to create. Some jars are even ready to eat foods!

Latin Spice Blend

Canning

Salsa is a favorite for home canners for the ease of tossing half of your garden into one jar. The salsa gets better with age (within reason) which means you can keep a large stash for presents any time of year!

Green Chile Salsa

Copycat Kahlua

Kalhua is a favorite Mexican liqueur. It's perfect for a simple and elegant gift. Just pick your favorite recipe below and pour into a beautiful dark glass bottle. Tie with a ribbon and add a recipe card for your favorite recipe including Kalhua for a personalized touch. Some of these recipes can be made the night before and some require at least two weeks of aging before drinking.

Frozen Food

Frozen foods are more difficult to carry long distances - but they are welcomed by people who want the ease of a fully cooked food ready to thaw!
