Christmas Jam
Happy New Year! I have a couple of year recap posts coming up, but for now, I hope everyone is off to a great start for 2016.
This year for teacher gifts I made a Christmas Jam. I had copied the recipe out of a cookbook I checked out of the library last spring. It's a miracle I remembered it when it came time to make teacher gifts. The jam has strawberries and cranberries in it. Along with some mini loaves of homemade bread, I thought they made cute little gifts.

ReplyDeleteI had a collection of teacher gifts, finally shared them with others.Lots of apple stuff it seemed. Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteI didn't receive any myself this year. Mrs.PP did as my mother made her a huge quilt with our own hand spun batting (sp?) and such. I gave a lot fo honey as presents though.
ReplyDeleteLucky teachers! Happy New Year to you all..;

Those do sound like really nice gifts! My only homemade gift this year was a scarf from my aunt. It has definitely kept my neck warm in this new cold climate!
ReplyDeletehow very nice and homey. :)
ReplyDeleteOf course I made little Christmas gifts and yes, received lovely ones as well but after reading what went into your jam, I sure wish I was a teacher!! Happy New Year, Baby Girl!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift. I bet the teachers really appreciated them! I use to make cookies and take them to all my neighbors. Haven't made anything lately as a gift. My one friend from bowling makes candied pecans each year and I love them.....
ReplyDeleteVery thoughtful gifts for the teachers. I didn't make anything this year.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very thoughtful gift for teachers, or anyone Lisa! I can't compete with this great idea. Happy New Year! :)
ReplyDeleteThose were the coolest gifts ever!

I made the wrapping paper, a washer necklace for 1 of my nephews, lip balm with Isaak, wake up spray with Mica, and my husband made a flyer from Star Wars from a dollar for another nephew.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! No homemade gifts this year. Last year my daughter gave us ceramic mugs that she made in a class.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute idea to give bread and jam as gifts. I bet everyone loved it.
