Already working on my neighbor gifts, otherwise I might switch my "theme" for gifts. I met

[barb_b]

such a nice woman today, and while discussing holidays, she mentioned that she made a vat of Cognac Pate that she will be putting in lil ramekins for her friends and family with an assortment of sides...(crackers, cornichons, lil pickled onions..etc) I thought it was such a fun and different idea, and wanted to share. I am thinking that will be my gift for next year!

for gifts I'm making....

my baked nuts (they're sweet); and macadamia nut crunch (T & T), white chocolate with pistachios;
almond roca; cheese crisps and biscotti.
What a good idea the cognac pate is though. Another year.

meant to ask what are you making???

Hi Betty, I have made a few different jams/relishes, my thought is to

put into a fun bag with some fancy crackers, maybe some cheese, etc..

I have some thoughts re: Candy, but I am intimidated....((Funny, I have all the ingredients, but so short of time...))

Holiday wishes,
Barb

I think jam/relishes with crackers sounds like a lovely gift.

I'm not great with candy - so choose a few simple ones. I have a very easy fudge that thickens with marshmallows if you are interested.
Happy Holidays
Betty

Thanks for the offer, Betty. I think I will start out with the few rec: that I have printed

Much appreciated, though.
Best,
Barb
